  1. Hey Guys, I started this topic in the distance casting forum but figured it would be more useful this forum. I recently customize my Abu Record No.60 using a PMR AKS cage and the PMR 4 magnetic brake system. I also put in ABEC 7 ceramic bearings , creating a one heck of a casting reel. PMR offers a high speed stainless steel gearing set which I ordered from Jamie at PMR. I received the gears and started the installation only to find that the gears weren't meshing properly. As I tried to slide the gear over the spindle , it would not slide over the 3.5 mm. section of the spindle. Hmmmm. I contact Jamie about my discovery and was told I should have told him that I have an upgraded spindle when I ordered it. Upgraded? I bought this reel brand new and never changed the spindle, worst yet never really took the reel apart that part of the gearing to service it, always just pushing lube through the spindle gear opening. Anyway this started a very education research project between myself and Jamie looking at the different spindle sizes in reels bought in America and those in the European models of Abu Garcia's round reels. Jamie for lack of better words was dumbfounded as he had never seen this before in his years of reel work. Me, I never even thought about spindle's sizes. Just for the sake of the research, I opened up and checked the spindle sizes in all my 6500's and my UC 5600C finding all the 6500's had the same larger spindle. The UC 5600C has a completely different spindle type. Has anyone run into this spindle size difference between American and European reels? Thanks for reading, Mike
