ABU AMBASSADEUR

6500 CA NIB BAITCASTER

"Rare 1980 Edition SN 800700"

"This is a Relisting Due to an EBAY Screw-up!"

"I’m starting this Item at only 99 cents with NO RESERVE!"

"The Best 6500 CA You Can Get"

This particular reel was in the transitional period between the fall of Garcia who was the exclusive distributer for Abu in the US; and the rise of Abu-Garcia in Sweden. In the early eighties Abu wisely bought the name rights to “Garcia” and changed their name to Abu-Garcia. Currently owned by the same company that owns Mitchell, Pure Fishing; Abu-Garcia is still a very well known and respected fishing tackle company worldwide!

The packaging and all documents are different than what you will normally find with a 6500 CA if you can find one complete. Although this reel was marketed by Abu; you will still see a small Garcia wedge sticker on this reel but nowhere else. Another historical piece from my personal collection.
Please contact me with any questions. As always, you'll get...

Here's a seldom seen Schulz fishing reel in excellent condition. Made of aluminum with a nice large marbled crank handle, it is 3 1/4" high, with a spool that is only 1 3/4" across. I'm not sure exactly how to use this oddball, but it swivels...to cast in one position and retrieve line in the other. You squeeze the "pincher"(?) which locks in place to secure the line and....go from there. You figure it out. The name plate reads "Schulz LA Calif PAT PEND". Cranks smoothly(but stiff/needs new grease)and has a strong clicker.

Another oddball! The "RITE-ANGLER from Markle Featherlite Prod. Detroit, Michigan. Very simple..cast in one position, spin, and retrieve in the other position. No clicker on this one, always in freespool, smooth as silk, with only a few chips out of the nice dark gray wrinkle paint.
