Hi everyone,

What is the primary difference(s) between this tan/black Abu Cardinal 6, versus the more common green/cream Zebco Cardinal 6?  Different gear ratio?  Different line capacity?  etc.?

This one also shows an EF blue badge.  What does that mean?

Thanks

The connecting link has an attached metal block instead of the nylon attachment. The spools are a heavy graphite rather than aluminum, but they are all interchangeable. The ef sticker has no ABU relevance, probably just someone's way of IDing their real. Everything else is pretty much the same other than the colors & handle style. The parts are interchangeable.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
