Hey Marlin,
I have a bunch of ahab trolling reels and am always adding more to my collection. If you have any questions or need additional info I'd be glad to help you. I service these old tanks in and out. Also who is the Fin- Nor parts guy in NC you mentioned? Thanks .

Thanks ,
I'll definitely reach out to him. I know ahab trolling reel parts are hard to come by that's why I'm stocking up on them when I can. Do you collect ahabs too ?

I do not collect them.  Occasionally get them in for repair.

The old FIN NOR stuff appears to be rugged.   The newer stuff (AHAB included).....i'm not a fan of. 

To each their own

The ahabs were definitely overbuilt. The new Chi-Nor Santiago and marquesas aren't in the same league.
