This swedish reel is solidy built of stainless steel with brass components, featuring reduced use of plastic, bevelled edge, lazer etched logo and a superior refined feel to it. Internally, it is packed solid with carbon matrix drag system, centrifugal brakes and corrision resistant bearings. The record is a reworked model of the original record that was created in 1939, the first reel made by Abu. With a light weight vented spool, the abu is a joy to hold as well as asthetically pleasing to the eye.

The reel is very smooth when used, and is one of the longest casting reel beating all the C3 models. Over the years, it had never disappointed, packing a punch even under the most demanding situation. Maintenance is quite simple, only requiring a thorough lubing once a while. This reel is highly recommended for luring.
