Title: Off to eBay - Abel 3N and two spare spools
Post by: Hamish Young on 17/10/2016 at 10:27
Up for sale is my Abel 'Big Game' 3N reel and two spare spools, reel and spool bags included but the fly lines and backing are not. The Big Game were the original Abel reel which became the Super Series standard arbour reels. The observant will have noticed that there's a large arbour spool on the reel, thanks to the Abel 'FlexABELity' system you can fit a large arbour spool from the Super Series, which I did - the reel is currently set for left hand wind.
All Abel reels are made in the USA and the specifications are deeply, deeply impressive - very solid reliable reels, an internet search will reveal all. I am keeping my other Abels but have decided a change is needed in this size so I'm getting something else. Condition :? Well other than some 'boat rash' on the reel this lot are in excellent used condition, one spool has the optional wooden handle which I prefer - sets the reel off beautifully. They've been very well looked after.

Like all things this comes down to price and I know what they cost and what I'm prepared to accept for this lot. At the moment I'm not putting a price up, if you know what these are then you know what they're worth so please PM me if you're interested.

I've been asked a couple of times via PM to give an indication of what I'm looking for price wise..... to be honest I'd rather not :! Do your research and make me a fair offer :!
Something similar with one spool less is £550 on eBay right now. I'm not looking for that much.....  :wink

OK, so lines and backing are off the reel and spools. Before I advertise them elsewhere - including a well known internet auction site - the price I'd like for the lot is £...

Tom I think I get the gist of that and I need to clear the decks quite soon so- watch out as these and many, many under used fishing gear will be on eBay shortly, probably by this weekend.
