I've always preferred the originals (the blackies and P-series) with the aluminum spools. The later versions with the graphite spools weren't as good IMO, and the graphite would cook your thumb if you used the edge of the spool to control them.

I liked some of the CT versions of the Abus---those without the level wind. The 7500 C3 CT was a great casting reel, probably the best of the wider reels. I had one for many years but sold it in the spring. I don't use conventionals often enough any more to justify keeping them.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
