My
name is Carsten Faber, and
I’m
an
avid
reel and
tackle collector.
Like many others my interest started years ago when my first Record reel,
was given to me by my farther Tonny Robin Hansen, so unknowingly his has been
the reason why I started collecting. The reel was given to me when I was a
child, but I’ve always been fond of old stuff, so it wasn’t long before I could

Since 1985 I’ve been selling fishing tackles. And
now in 2010 I’m the manager of a Tackle shop in

for the last 6 years I’ve also guided sea fishermen on Lofoten in

Off course it’s not a real ABU product, but nevertheless still an interesting
piece.
Another interesting item is an old Record coffee mug, which was given to me by an old ABU employee, it’s used but still a very appreciated item in my collection
