Does anyone know the difference between the Abu Gracia 706 and the 506 mk11 please? Is it size? Quality?

Tigger mate.
Is the 501 the original, going on to the 502/503 so on? I'm told they are Bomb proof,, and that most owners remove the clutch.
If you do, does that mean when a fish take hard the handle flies around? I'm interested in anything you can tell me please buddy. I have the chance of a mint 501 ideal for the stick I gather.
Thanks again.

I paid £47 in the end and it looks very clean on the web. I'll send a picture once it arrives (if I can?) but even the reel seat has all the original paint, with 2 spools, box, and diagram oil. Thanks for all the advice. Interestedly I've seen some ABUs on a antique site refurbished by a chap called Dave Plowman the original 507 goes for £375???????wtf!!

I'm going to try and find someone to put that part back, as Tigger said/suggested there was not point on that 501 model. Sam the rod you suggested (acolyte ultra) is amazing very nice thanks. I happened to be able to pick up the Allerton on the bank the other day and I thought it a bit heavy in comparison, plus the handle was bait odd. JMO.

A 501 with part 5579 taken out, I have the part. I should not have been removed as I said before, as you can backwind with it in, unlike the 506 hence why they had the removed. Part 5579 is called the anti-reverse pawl, by ABU.
