ABU /Record Rods

Types and Models

 I have been fortunate enough to find some early copies of ABU Catalogs from which I gleaned lots of information. I have selected my earliest English Tight Lines 1959 and 1962 and the earliest Napp och Nytt 1957 and 1966.

From these, I have reproduced the selection of rods available in their particular year.

Napp och Nytt  Rods from 1957

Napp och Nytt  Rods from 1966

Tight Lines Rods from 1968

More to follow as material and scanning time becomes available...

If you have any others listed above or this Pacific, that are unneeded  or doubles in your collection and are available for a reasonable fee, I would be very pleased to hear from you. I cannot afford to collect Mint, or unused rods that command high prices  at present.

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!
