Me too but I think it's on Ebay as we speak. If i'm right its the one where the bidding starts at £40 but it says Buy it Now for £40 in the description.

I bought this reel and would just like to say this is an excellent chap to do business with! And a bloody beautiful little thing for a modern reel.

Bitch!!

The ABU 500 series is one of those things I fancied like crazy when I was a lad. The 706 hasn't got the same sharp styling but for £35 I would scratch yer eyes out. Nice buy

Pleasure doing business with you too mate! ... it was used-but only once possibly twice,i never really prefered it over my fixed spool reel in the end and it just sat there unused for about 6 months.

Merry Christmas !
