ABU Reels/Rods Combos

ABU was most particular from the earliest times, to include imformative documents in 40's Napp och Nytt catalogs and later English translated Tight Lines catalogs.

Education of anglers was a prime goal  of the company, to ensure success with combining their excellent products for the best possible results.

One beautiful fold out 3 page  ABU advertizing flyer I have is shown here.  

 I have attempted to collect and combine various rod and reel combinations from the years in which they would have been released.

If future I hope to match lines and lures to these combos (and also display and photograph them a little better)

Here are displayed combos from the 40's through to the 80's. I fish with some later combos as well!

If you are a person that has significantly had an effect on design/development/testing of ABU equipment over the years please contact me  wayne@realsreels.com  if you wish your contribution documented for posterity and the immediate interest of the ABU fans worldwide!
