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

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.
