ABU GARCIA Abu 507 MKII Spinning Reel
Experience the evolution of a legend with the ABU GARCIA Abu 507 MKII Spinning Reel, a masterclass in modern engineering built upon a celebrated heritage. Designed for the discerning angler who demands both classic control and contemporary power, the 507 MKII is the ultimate tool for advanced float and feeder fishing techniques. This model stands as a more powerful version of the 506 MKII, specifically engineered to handle larger fish, heavier lines, and more demanding river conditions with unwavering reliability.
The 507 MKII redefines performance in the closed-face reel category. Its unique underslung design, which operates like a traditional spinning reel, provides exceptional balance and comfort during long sessions on the water. The heart of its enhanced capability lies in its robust construction and meticulously designed internals. The advanced polymeric body ensures a lightweight yet incredibly durable frame, reducing angler fatigue without compromising on strength. This is perfectly complemented by a tough aluminum front cone that protects the line and internal mechanism from the elements and a an occasional knock, ensuring your reel remains in peak condition season after season.
At the core of its fish-stopping ability is the legendary Carbon Matrix™ drag system. This industry-leading technology provides exceptionally smooth and consistent drag pressure across the entire range, eliminating the jerky, hesitant performance that leads to lost fish. With a max drag of 5.4 kg (12 lbs), you have the power to tame the strong runs of hard-fighting species like barbel, chub, and tench. The 5-bearing system works in perfect harmony with the drag, delivering a silky-smooth retrieve and ensuring all moving parts operate with minimal friction, enhancing both performance and the longevity of the reel.
Control is paramount in precision fishing, and the 507 MKII offers it in abundance. It features the classic on/off anti-reverse switch, a feature beloved by traditional river anglers. This allows you to instantly choose between using the drag system or engaging in classic back-winding techniques to give line to a powerful fish, offering a level of tactile control that is simply unmatched. The ambidextrous handle can be easily switched to accommodate both left and right-handed anglers, making it a versatile choice for anyone. To further enhance its value and convenience, the 507 MKII comes complete with spare spools, allowing you to quickly switch between different line diameters or types right at the bankside, ensuring you´re always prepared for changing conditions.
