Abu 508 REELS X 2

[Deleted member 1090]

Abu 508 in totally pristine condition looks like it’s never been used with spare metal spool also back wind pawl as been removed. £120 posted only selling due to My fathers health

Hi Robert is the 508 reel handle on the left or right and what is the difference between a 506 and 508

Size I believe but I’ve never had a 508 as they are super rare but I think they are essentially a bigger more heavy duty reel than the 506.
They have the same type clutch as the 506 with a spring loaded type cam in the handle that applies more pressure to the wheel as you push it forward.
Same anti reverse pawl too if not been removed.

The 508 is a right hand wind reel Pete

Also just to add the anti reverse pawl as been removed from the reel

A few pics of the reel it’s been fully serviced recently the handle as been reset so it falls to the bottom every time.

Some more pics of another 508 reel which is unused I’ll do a deal on both if any one is interested

Ah ….. right hand wind. Missed that.
So the 508 is essentially a 507 with the handle on the other side. Every days a school day.

Yeah spot on mate same reel but for left handed person

Those spools from CVFT are excellent.
The O ring prevents line going underneath.

Yeah all 3 spools are brand new and unused I paid £22.99 Each for them if I remember on eBay

 

[Deleted member 1090]

Just checked the spools were £22 each. so I think £120 posted for the pair of the reels is a decent price

 

[Pete Collins]

Thanks for the reply Robert I would have bought the 508 but need left hand wind ...I have a 507 which works ok but sounds like a quacking duck when reeling in ...if you come across a mint or unused 507 let me know I would be more than interested in buying it
