ABU's New Classics!
As well as the 'standard' line of high quality reels, if ABU are ever merely
standard , its ranks are being expanded by a range of specialized reels,
aimed at collectors and serious fishermen needing the best (with matching, top of end of town pricing structure).
Here I will feature some of the emerging Olympic medalists of this fishing
equipment world.
Some are individually personalized according by specialist such as
Ulf Tingstrom of UT Reel Technology to useage,
rod, line, lure weight etc

coming soon....
UT reel's..6500CS
Chrome Rocket
They are often only produced in batches of 200, ensuring they will never be
easy to source or afford.
These I believe are destined to become the new classics and one considers
themselves lucky if they are able to get onto the list from the factory
supply.
My personal favourite is the soon to be released Pearl White Ambassadeur
5500 CDL which I suspect Simon Shimomura has exquisitedly crafted. Hope he
can let one come to this website/collection!

Once the target of predominatly Japanese ABU fishing enthusiasts,
specialized tuned reels made of exotic materials and unique colours are
greatly sought by passionate ABU persons as well as the well heeled Ebay
buyer who will gladly part with large sums to acquire them.
