abu chrome rocket

[seanie35]

looking on eBay at the abu chrome rocket, seems there is 3 types, the cs, the ct, and a custom built mix of the first two. Anyone know what the reason is for the custom build and which of the 3 types is the best option

[bigsod]

Dont know about the custom build but cs would be level wind and ct is without level wind.I would go for the ct myself as it would be a lot easier to grip during casting

Hi Seanie,

I reckon the custom built has a mag unit in it as the original dosent have one, Id go for the original CT,
Very bling reel

[eric]

my favourite reel, out of the ones ive tried, only problem is the pinion gear, they just dont stand up to regular fishing

there are only two types of chrome 6500, the custom built one i seen on ebay the other day imo was just a made up one using diff reel parts, thats all.

theres a guy churning these custom built ones on ebay not just one offs, got the feeling it was to make them cast better for some reason
