I owned one back 2001 when still getting used to fishing overhead reels, to say it was a barstool to use was an understatement ๐ Will see if my skills have improved, but it was one of the reels I would use on my charter trips back then. |

I have a thing about old gear I owned I maybe should try again ๐ There is another Abu I am looking out for the old Brute. I am wondering if the 6600 can handle braid though and whether I remove the plastic hood over the spool to fully access it. Will be used as a bait reel and Gurnard snatcher. |
