Built Tough
The ABU 500 half encapsulated reel
series came with tough full metal bodies. They may weigh more than some
of today’s reels but these reels are built
to very high quality standards and they
can take quite a beating. The metal includes buttons, spool cover, handle bar,
etc. The only plastic perhaps would be
the handle knob of which is quality
plastic.
