Thumb-Burner Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 looking for a good condition abu 5500 with dual cast control and flat sideplates.. not too concerned about cosmetics.. very concerned about mechanics... whatcha got? not looking for a $100+ reel. If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. But, if you teach a man to fish, he will spend all his money on fishing tackle and won't be able to afford to eat!

Ken D Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi, TB....is the reason you want an early 5500, because of the higher speed (4.7-1) gearing, up from the early 5000's 3.8-1? I will see what I have down on level two of the parts bench. I have plenty of 5's with dual end caps, but uncertain on the 55. Best, KD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumb-Burner Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 No, that's not it.. i am looking for one of the newer versions (with the bearings in the spool) to convert to a tournament reel.. a 5000 would actually be fine also..
