Title: Abu 5501 C3
Post by: Scattergun2570 on October 25, 2020, 09:45:08 PM

I am curious,first off I don`t know what gear ratio this reel is. All it says on it is High Speed Retrieve..but it would be better if it were quicker.. Is there a gear set I can swap that is faster ? Also,is there a page that lists the IPT for the Abu reels?
Thanks guys..

That one should be 5.3:1, about 23" to 26" per turn depending on the spool used. 6.3:1 gears can be swapped in and you'd pick up about 3" to 4".

Where would I find a 6.3:1 set?

Direct from Pure Fishing or hookless.com would be the places I'd look.
