Have an Abu Garcia? Need work or rebuild? I can help!

Post by surenough » Mon Mar 15, 2010 8:01 pm

Hi folks!
My name is Adam and I rebuild fix, lube, etc. Abu Garcia reels. Namely 4500-6600 series. I can add line guide bearings, replace parts etc. I also sell some used ones that I have rebuilt. Right now I have 5 6500C3 upgraded to C4 (4 bearings) some 5500 5600 etc. Let me know if your looking for something or need some help. I will be happy to do what I can. Fair prices as it is my hobby and I have no overhead!
Thanks Adam

Im in Bothell/Mill Creek but frequent a lot of fishing spots -Edmonds Pier right now until we get some fishing going.

Good to know Thanks. My 4 favorite reels are 2 each 5000 Ambassadors and 2 each 6000 ambassadors. The 5000's are for drifting and the 6000's for trolling.I have many reels but those are my favorites.

Yes, the older reels are great - all the Abu's I fish with have been super reliable and last a good long time. I know there are some pretty expensive reels like Shimano that are great also - you just cant beat the value you on a maintained Abu Garcia. I fix a lot of different brands, so far the highest demand is for the Abu bait cast reels.

Just so ever one knows I do a lot of through the mail repair, still pretty darn cost effective when compared to in shop work. As long as I have the parts, I only have your reel for 1-3 days the rest of the time is in transit. If your local to the area around Mill Creek, I can meet up with you too.

Well, hey Adam like I did tell you already i want one of your reels mainly the same you have right now... Right or left handed i don't care for either hand to use. And if possible can you spool it with the same line you hand on your reel; thanks you got my number!
