WTB Abu 7000i Sweden made only
 

PM Me if you have one and want to sell.

The "i" models are all from China. The regular 7000's were from the Far East for a while too. Surprisingly, the reels made in Taiwan were the best of the bunch. Look for a green 7000B. Add ball bearings for the spool ($10) and you will have, what quite a few of us consider, the best of the 7000s.

Wish I hadn't sold that one I had... hope he's catching fish with it anyway.

or look for a 7000c3 maroon colored one, awesome casting reel.

Not sure if its what you're looking for, but I have a Abu 7000i C3 CT MAG made in China that I would be willing to part with. PM with any interest and I can send pics.

I really want Sweden made only. I have had every one of the models Abu made (almost). This is a gift for someone. Long story but Sweden made is what I needed.
Anyway, I found one. Thanks for the replys

No problem Paul, glad you found one!:)

I have a mint 7000CL Big Game. Made in Sweden. This reel is mint in every way. I sent it out to have to have it tricked out with spool bearings, level wind bearings, ceramic pawl, Carbontex drag and new type power handle. I paid over $250 total, will sell for $200 shipped.
I have forgotten how to post pictures on this site. If an interest email me at
chlstn@optonline.net I'll send you a few pictures.

Thanks Charleston. I found the one I needed.
