Abu 507

Always been a quality manufacturer of fishing reels . I have an Abu Cardinal which must be 50 years old and it works perfectly. This type of reel was popular in the 70's but I hadn't seen one for decades. I'm sure it will see me into my coffin and beyond.Read full review

Poor quality Abu 507mk11 closed faced fishing reel

I purchased the Abu 507 mk11 closed faced fishing reel with anticipation for the new fishing season. I have used the reel twice and have become increasingly anoid by the line release button. Prior to you casting your line in the water I have to make a few attempts each time for the button on top of the reel to release the line. This happens each time you wish to cast ! Very annoying as you would expect a new real to release the line easily on the first attempt. I would not recommend this reel.Read full review

Poor finish on spools

The reel itself was fine straight out of the box, but the moulding of the spools was very poor for such a renowned reel manufacturer. All the spools had large plastic burrs remaining which had to be cut and sanded smooth before use. Once done the reel is ok, but occasionally needs a couple of presses on the button to retract the line pickup pin.Read full review

Very poorly finished

Spools still had large plastic burrs which prevented handle from turning. Once I had removed the burrs it was fine. Also it's a very heavy reel.

Tight Lines

I have had older models in the past and I can say that the 507 definately comes up to Standard. It is an excellent reel and I thoroughly recommend it - perfect for the Stick and Wagler.

Abu 507 MK11 closed face reel

These are brilliant reels but perhaps not for the novice and hobby anglers, I used to fish with the smaller version of this reel in the nineties and I caught a lot fish including double figure carp, it's necessary to be able to touch the bale release button with the index finger, they can be used for trotting on running water or float/waggler fishing on still water, it's necessary to turn the handle one turn after casting to engage the bail pin for the strike, a great quality fishing reel, I hope this information helps.Read full review
