Where do you order parts for Abu's,,is it straight from Abu,or is there a Penn Parts type of place to order from?
If I can't find a part on eBay I go here. (https://www.ereplacementparts.com/abu-garcia-parts-c-187196.html?osCsid=af3017jdruuarkc6gd87t5vqo0) If it's not obsolete they will have it, although not always the cheapest around.
Another is Jerry Foran's in Florida. I don't think he stocks spinning reel parts, however.

So,are you saying parts cannot be obtained from ABU,or that's just where you choose to get them?
I clipped this from the main Abu site, looks like they have a partnership with a couple places.

I have used Jerry Foran for years. Cannot say enough positive about him and his service. He even has hard to find used parts for the older vintage. As Festus says though, its casting reels only.
Thanks guys
