Bushings have a better durability in salt and brackish environments vs bearings. Easier to maintain but you still gotta clean and grease em. Use a really light grease or a heavy oil.

Like you alluded to it's about overseeing the manufacturing . Pretty much everything we own is made in China, our computers, TV's Androids and iPhones, tablets and iPads, stereo equipment. I wish there were all made at home in America but it's just not a reality anymore. But like you were saying Like, apple or Google or Zebco you oversee the components being used , the engineering and the design and then quality control. But back to Zebco's I just love their reels soo many memories and still love using them today. I'm also just facisnated with the mechanics of spincasters. AS a watch lover you can see how a watchmaker invented these types of reels. Love video's like this.

An “honest” trigger lol

I thought all c3 were Swedish made

I had to stop watching. I just couldn't stand the musak.

just bought this

Rocking the same setup

Used mine in saltwater no problems. However the 733 is a better reel in my opinion.

I have the same reel,.. vintage and unused chrome model ... going to order the drag and Abec bearing kits now 🤙😎👍

I have one this Model bought from from in early 80’s still using the same .

I have one this Model bought from Japan in early 80’s and still using the same .

i have bought 3 and 2 out of the 3 make a horrible noise when i cast has anyone else had that problem any solution

How’d you get that shield off the shaft for the main gear?

There is a lot of reel's made in China what I've seen the last few years. The 33max is good for big fish catching 20 lbs line monofilament from factory. They took them out of my Walmart and there's 10 around me. Found them for Christmas and now there not there now. I have to go other places to find one. Or order one I hat to do.

Have you tried the 250 or 200 Surfmaster by Penn. Just a little lighter duty than the best reel ever made "Jigmaster".

i have an ex-police beretta 92fs made in 1999, has the factory metal guide rod, only added new recoil spring and extractor its really accurate and its a keeper

wow

Nate, I am surprised that there are not more comments on your Abu7000 reel videos. I have 5 or 6 of the 7000 reels in both the Swedish version as well as the Chinese version. And then a bucket load of the Swedish 6500 reels. Anyway, the manner in which you show the movements of the reel parts like the pinion gear is excellent. Then you explain that the cross groove will allow it to engage the cross pin on the spindle gives people a working knowledge that is so helpful. If I were to make a suggestion, it would only be to lay the reel parts out on a white towel in the order in which they came off. If your an old hand at disassembling a reel it doesn’t matter but for newbies, it is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and for expressing your opinion on the quality of the 7000 Swedish vs Chinese model. I wish they had kept that same quality in the 6500 versions.

If you cut that spindle down the reel,wouldn’t function the handle could not be attached 😂 the pinion support is vital to keep the shaft aligned and stop any fractional play which will push the main gear out of sync.

Curiosity question about the reel. For context, I was fishing for Catfish a week ago. Yes, with this reel. I only got one small one, so nothing large enough to break the rod or reel. However, while fishing, and this is a brand new reel, btw....the spring inside came loose. So I couldn't cast out. So it ended my day a little prematurely because I didn't want to try and fix the issue and lose the spring out there. (I was bank fishing). I can't figure out how to keep the spring in place so it pushes down correctly. No matter what I do, it keeps popping off. So, I am wondering what can I do to make it stay in place?

🎣 my first geared reel was a 1972 Penn Jigmaster 500A with plastic spool and plastic spare spool. I have a Penn 49A and narrow model too,! I love Penn reels, I enjoy fishing with them,! 🐟 🎣

please don`t put music on videos, its hard focusing on what`s being said here

So how is your mag doing without the pinion support ??

It’s a gorgeous reel..! But I wouldn’t be bait fishing with it… as the name implies,…. Chrome Rocket… it’s made for repetitive casting … you can bait fish with anything… but the ABU is like a high performance car … vrooom vrooom… I have a brand new ABU 10000 C never been used … it’s at least 50 years old and it’s beautiful…. Going to swap out the stock bearings with Abec 7 hybrid bearings ,… load it with 65lb braid and hunt Stripers at the beach….btw,… I have that same rod in 11’ version w/ Penn fathom2 The ABU goes on a St. Croix 12’ Avid Surf Caster…. I’ve been waiting a long time to put this rod and reel together because they were made 50 or so years apart … this old & new tech is coming together nicely as an old school heavy heaver… I’ve managed to put together 2 identical setups…. Time to use them soon… now that I’m ‘63…. lol 🤣 Anyways… enjoy that reel…!!! 👍😎🤙

Grandpa's gun

I`m 75 years old, I use Zebco all the time. my kids my grand kids and my great grand kids too.. have fun.

Tks NP for sharing. We are all leaning

Why do you guys buy fake chinese reels and then ask for help from ABU enthusiasts? Ask Lee, not Sven.

That is not an Abu Garcia reel for starters! It's a fake copy from China that has only Abu written on it, but it is not an Abu Garcia reel...or to be more precise, an ABU Sweden reel.

Stunning

The JB has a few extra metal parts like the handle nut retainer and thumb bar.

Hi. Do you know difference between 5601 JB and 5601 Jerk? It is almost the same reels but JB has 325g weight but Jerk has 285g.

very helpfull,thanks for posting

Do not buy one made in China they're pieces of crap Why not just go ahead and buy one made in Sweden for about 80 more dollars I do a lot of bank fishing and they will just not take the Punishment

This guys a fool!...don't not take this advice on board...get a pinion support fittes

I have had my eye on those Raptor frames for about a month now. Really impressed with how they look!

i can't find the Serial Number on my 7000 C3. it's not on the foot, like everyone says it is... pls help

Dang! Bling, Bling!

This video was excellent

Estwing is underrated as far as hatchets and axe. I like the 20 oz estwing hammer for framing and finish.

Sorry but your reasoning is wrong and fails to consider a long history of 7HT drive failures. The pinion support is a very sensible solution to a problem that does exist ... there are a large numbers of failures of the 7HT drive every year in the UK alone. The problem is actually two-fold. Firstly there is so little bearing surface at the bottom of the drive that under strain the inside of the drive shaft wears prematurely. The main issue however is that the boss holding the IAR bearing in the side plates are often not properly pressed into place and become loose over time, if that is not fixed then eventually the whole plate and drive self destructs. Fitting a pinion support spreads the load at the top of the drive between the bearing (or rather its housing) and the pin in the centre ... the fact that there is no inner support at the top of the drive shaft is the issue its meant to address. Fitted correctly (ensuring there is no issue with the integrity of the boss) a pinion support improves gear longevity and improves the retrieve under load. Pinion supports have actually been around since the 6HM and adding a collared sleeve is a well accepted engineering fix that has been around for hundreds of years. facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.803205716459639&type=3&locale=en_GB

Beautiful reel

Why is the trigger guard plastic tho that's what I don't get

Excellent video Nate, I have a lot better understanding of what gear does what now. I just recently purchased a C4 and am patiently waiting for its arrival lol. I wouldve like to hear your rendition of the main gears but either way, Thank you!

How can you tell if this a Berretta 92fs police model?

Just bought 2 of them today. I’m going to put some Pline Fluorocarbon 20# line on them for river fishing.

I agree that the 7000s are very good reels. I like mine better than the 6500s. I think they cast slightly further, and the lower gear ratio (4.1-1) makes for good power and torque. They are absolutely fabulous for carp and flatheads! Great video!

I have that exact same rod with a shimano Calcutta 250 on it. Probably a little small of a reel for surf fishing for it but it gets the job done👍

I grew up with a nice stainless beretta only time it didn’t cycle was when I wasn’t paying attention and fired some .380 ! It shot but wouldn’t pickup the next rd! Was my favorite combat pistol we ever had and we had em mostly all I wanna try a surplus Cz75 now

I just noticed tonight that 2 of my A-Zoom snap caps have a defect that prevents the cylinder from rotating! Upon inspection, it appears that that the rubber primer pocket material exudes a bit above the level of the rim, thus making contact with the face of the inner frame, in effect “jamming” the gun. I’m looking for a way to level that area flat to permit full cylinder rotation. You have an awesome .357 Magnum revolver. I love it when I meet fellow travelers & Brothers of the Wheel 😏
