Not sure if I posted pics before, but did a search and could not find
Abu Garcia 6000 Red that as seen better days, was able to take all corrosion off the side plate with a dremel and polishing compound, put a new frame, new drag washer,upgraded the gears to 4.7:1 that I purchase from Jerry at Hookless.com, also CT conversion bar , Knob from a Mitchel, arm from a winwang chinese reell, the reel as bushing, perfect for Kayak fishing
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)

A yeah!! I forgot about those, they are nice and clean
Thanks, Marc..
I like it...makes me want an old 6000 to tweak. 8)
It's a good reel and needs to get fishing, I'd take it every day. Nice 👍 job.🎣
It kinda reminds me of a Calcutta 700 with a spool that looks way too small for the sideplates. It probably will fish well with all the work you put into it!
Frame? Did you do a CT conversion Marc or did it come that way? Looks just perfect to me.

Normal frame, I removed the slotted line guide post, replaced it with SS T insert, removed the worm gear assembly and replaced it with a CT bar
Thanks, guys..
Great modifications brother......fish killer for sure....Bill
