My Friend's Collections

Here you will see samples of collections of most unusual/rare Record/ABU equipment from the 40's through to current time.

Kent Sundstom from  far north of Sweden shares his ABU here.

I think the most unusual rod/reel combo from ABU that I have ever seen is this Tournament Caster, details of which are provided by friend John Knight in UK.

For me below was the Ultimate Group Collection of rare mint ABU Admiral  4/0, 6/0, 7and a half /0 IGFA reels . I think a 9/0 would complement this trio nicely. It is not supposed to exist but I believe on does. My Garcia 7.5/0 is used but is still my most valued reel.

This  image was sent by my collector friend Dirk from Germany.

 

There seems to be an element of secrecy regarding some reels, perhaps for security reason or maybe other reasons. I have decided to replace the image that was previously removed fortunately for simple poorer fans of whom would have no hope of ever owning one. There is overwhelming evidence to suggest that Dirk is the current owned and does have the right to sunmit this image for sharing. My reel above is also linked for all to enjoy.
Dirk collects all items from ABU and badge engineered Pebeco. If there is someone who wishes to write to  him, please use this e-mail adress:

Thanks Patrick. Beautiful range of ABU reels and lures! Most especially thanks for the nice little packet of ABU lures you sent me freely to boost my starting lure collection.

Extensive, but less well displayed, more used for for fishing reels here.
