ABU made a few big game reels.
Info gleaned from an ORCA post.

I saw a 7.5 Everol/Garcia Admiral a few days ago.
I know they are rare, but I'm not paying top dollar for one that is beat up.
Starting bid was $500.

I thought those might catch your eye. Finding a 7.5 or 9/0 in good condition would be quite a challenge, and likely quite expensive. Apparently only a few were made. They are more of a collector's item, then one to fish, since they had cork drags.

I've seen a lot of old Everol's Lately.
I don't know, but another member called it "My self Induced Buying Parameters".
If it is going to get beat up, It is going to be by me. ;D
If I can't fish it, I have no use for it.
I'm getting one more for my collection after the Holidays.
A new 20/0 in red and gold.
The Newer Everol reels have really evolved after 60 years of production.
True one piece frames, Carbon Fiber discs bigger than any other.
I'm stoked about the Ultimate Iron Man Reel.
Red Frame and Plates, Gold spool and Handle.
Let me know when you get it. I'm coming over.
Construction has begun. ;)
