The two I have shown , I don't fish, but i do have about 4 others that I fish.
This one is a 1967 330. The mechanism is very simple, durable and reliable on these reels, very similar to the old ABU cardinals.

Thanks Col. Yes, I couldn't`t believe my luck when the 5001 came up for sale in Australia and no one else bid on it. It looked terrible at the time, but that was all on the outside. It functioned perfectly. The other surprise was the vendor lives about 4 kms from me.

Modern stuff is better it’s just the first few reels I owned for bass fishing and then had to sell as the kids came along

I don’t as there are guys out there that will do an amazing job for $50-60

new stuff I don’t service just look after it and retire it when it’s not the best as a rebuild is normally more then a midrange reel anyway
