Second hand - Fishing reel, ABU 444 - Abu Garcia

A Legendary Piece of Swedish Fishing History: Second Hand Abu Garcia ABU 444 - A True Collector's Item with Deep Roots!

Condition: Used condition

For the true connoisseur and collector of classic fishing gear, we proudly present this Second hand - Fishing Reel, ABU 444 - Abu Garcia . This is not just a fishing reel; it is a time capsule from a golden era of Swedish engineering and a tribute to AB Urfabriken's iconic heritage in Svängsta.

The ABU 444 was launched in 1955 and was a milestone – it was AB Urfabriken's very first in-house produced spinning reel. Before the 444, ABU had primarily made a name for themselves with their multiplier reels, but with this model they responded to the market's growing demand for spinning reels with the precision and innovation that have become their signature. The reel quickly became known for its robust construction and was even nicknamed "The World Champion Reel" due to its reliability and smooth operation, and it has set world records in spinning reel casting.

This reel, made in the heart of the Swedish fishing tackle industry, represents an era of uncompromising quality and robust design. The ABU 444 was distinguished by its elegant, teardrop-shaped crankcase and the fact that almost all its parts were made of metal, including the spool release button. The drivetrain consisted of precision-cut parts in brass and steel, which contributed to its exceptional durability and smooth running.

Although this reel is in "used condition" , this is precisely what tells its story. Every mark and every patinated surface bears witness to the countless fishing adventures it has experienced and the durability for which ABU products are known. This reel is a perfect addition to your collection, a nostalgic reminder of a classic craft, or why not a functional reel for those special "vintage" fishing trips.
