You do not see this one that often. A reissue of a system 5 by hardy in the early 90's I think. Came with gold fly line and walnut presentation box.

Good thing you have the discipline not to fish it. Me...it'd be dangling from a reel seat with some backing and a line. LOL! I like that reel!

 I don't have anything I don't fish.

Even better shown fishing, with fish. Plus the SA system 'glass, right? A symmetrical/reversible design, For most of this reel's production/sales
period, they were default provided RHW, correct? I see this one is LHW. Were they delivered that way, or did you swap it? Just a point of interest that
reflects changing preferences, LHW having become predominant, and therefore the delivery default on most reels, in the last 10 to 15 years.

I've got a few Hardy's, a bushel of Young's, and a passel of blue collar American reels, one from New Zealand and a few from the Orient.
Can't say what it is that attracts me to buy certain reels, but I know one when I see it. Here is a single click pawl reel from A.B. Urfabriken, (ABU?). Looks to be a baked enamel finish and a screw in the end of the spindle for run out adjusment. A fine reel that really should have had a leaded type finish to do it justice. I haven't done any research on it yet but it is the first one I've seen...just had to have it.

VERY cool record reel. I have a bunch of Record spinning reels my dad gave me. He said they'd last forever and i believe him.
Like to find one of them to complete a fly/spin Record display. |

the ABU Record is a very collectable reel. They certainly copied Young
 
the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.

I thought that reel looked familiar! I had to pull it off the rod and and shoot it. I believe this is an earlier version of that one, 3-1/2" and branded
for Allcocks as The Gilmour. Still a pretty tight reel and one of my favorites to use for trout.
It brought many nice Searun Cutts to hand weekend before last.

Here's one that doesn't seem to get much respect. Nice clean simple lines and it has a nice stiff payout that I'd be comfortable with using for
Steelhead.

I would fully endorse these reels , especially for the cost conscience angler, All Sharpes of Aberdeens reels are usually great buys for the money

These models are hardly rare, but they are my favorite spring & pawl reels. My CFO III is at least 25 years old, has never been repaired and keeps going
strong. It's my favorite 4-weight reel. The Abel is a TR3, no longer available. For me, it's the perfect 6-weight reel.

CFOs are hard to beat and Abels are top shelf for sure. I have a few of each myself. I was interested in Joe Cornwall's comments in Flyfish Ohio about the
Bass Pro Classic Ultralite reels. They look like an Abel TR0 and for $109.00...a bargain.

Were those Sharpes reels made in their own factory or by someone else?They look like they may have been made by Young or Hardy.Nice reel. |
