Title: Another Abu 4500 of mine
Post by: tincanary on September 04, 2019, 02:42:24 PM
I built this guy from parts in my bin.  Abu Black Max 5500 side plates, chrome 4500 frame, 4600 C3 swept handle, 38mm chrome star wheel, lightweight line guide from a newer 4600 C3, Carbontex drag, single bearing level wind, new OEM spool bearings, and lightweight blue brake blocks.  I'm going to put it on the water this weekend and see how she runs.  It's nice and smooth, but not nearly as smooth as the 4500CS I posted earlier.
