Vintage Black ABU 5000C Baitcast Reel - Solid - Nice! Have a pretty nice vintage ABU 5000C black model reel here and it's a smooth one. Mechanics just super nice and it will fish for decades longer if you take care of it. Mechanics all in great shape with a very smooth retrieve - drag great shape - cast controls work fine as does everything else. Winner can load line and go fishing same day but I do not clean or lube these reels before listing so I do recommend that on most. This one probably was well taken care of and doesn't need it but wouldn' hurt to check it out even though there is no problem that I can detect. Looks very well aslo with just a very smal bit of rash on the upper rims -- both sideplates very clean but previous owner etched in that looks like a small letter "B" on the bottom of the left side. Course the initials could be "DA" but sort of looks like a B to me. Foot stamped 841200 with raised dots on it so I'd have to imagine that the frame has been replaced or these older sideplates with the grooved rims were put on a newer frame. Frame from Dec 1984 and grooved rims went away in 1973 at the latest. Still make a super solid fishing reel even though that hurts the collectibility of it. I have quite a bit of vintage fishing gear listed or going up in the next day or two - lots of it quite collectible and it will be priced for the most part to sell in one day. Lots of bills to pay and I've been buying like crazy and not selling. Time to sell so if you're looking for some great deals, check my auctions every few hours as I expect I'll be listing off and on all day tomorrow and Wednesday. Not just fishing stuff either, but lots of other nice items as well and all will be pried right. . Please allow 2-4 days packaging time on all auctions please.
