The Definitive Tool for the River Float Angler The Abu 506 has earned its place as a staple for river anglers. Its closed face design is purpose-built to provide seamless line control, making it a reliable choice for trotting a float down-stream for roach, dace, and chub. This reel provides a mechanical simplicity that modern alternatives often struggle to match.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Automatic Line Pick-Up: Features the classic finger-trigger release and immediate pick-up, allowing for fast, efficient casting and effortless line control during the trot.

  • Star Drag System: Equipped with an adjustable drag located on the handle for quick, intuitive tension changes when playing fish in flowing water.

  • Robust Construction: Built to the original standards that established Abu's reputation for durability, offering a long-lasting alternative to modern plastic components.

  • Tang-Free Design: The closed face housing protects the line from wind-knots and prevents line from spilling off the spool in adverse weather conditions.

     

  • Affordable Vintage Performance: A cost-effective way to acquire a specialist tool that has been proven on UK rivers for decades.

This reel has been inspected to ensure the winding mechanism is smooth and the pick-up pin is functioning as it should. It is a dependable, functional piece of kit ready for its next session on the bank.
