Spinning Reels
Record
Spinning reels were first made by
Zangi of
Italy and later by
Sportex
of Germany
Despite the
signage of Svangsta SWEDEN, these reels were outsourced until the technology was
available in house.
Best details on
all things Record and ABU spinning can be sourced from my good friend Marco
Malavasi's "Reelstown Guide to ABU Spinning Reels" , often seen changing hands
for a considerable price on Ebay.
Notice I am
missing all Sportex manufactured models as well as the Record 888.
The Record 999 is
my personal favourite due to its simple but innovative multiple speed gearbox,
quiet unique at this time!
