Abu 4500CS

[tincanary]

I scored this guy cheap on eBay, was pretty shocked the seller took my initial offer.  These were one year only in the USA, made in 1994.  In Europe and Japan, they stayed around until 2015 in various colors other than silver.  This one got some upgrades, and I also made it an aesthetic match to my 2500CIAR.  Only bummer is my RCN 5600 6.8:1 gear set hasn't shown up yet, so those will be swapped in sometime before Christmas.  They will bring the reel up from 24" per turn to 33".  I'll be using this pier fishing for smallmouth, coho, and steelhead.
