ABU 506 closed face fishing reel - enable backwind by removing the anti-reverse pawl

[@MidlandAngler]

Thanks for this .. I've just stripped , cleaned and re assembled my first 506 .. minus the Pawl 😎🎣🎣

I did this about 45 years ago....before youtube, & I haven't a clue how I learned how to do it. Just planning to start reusing this reel for this season & use my fixed spool for lure fishing or feeder fishing only. I bet I won't be as successful as I was back in the 70's!

Thanks for a great video. Just picked up a 506 and this is a real help to understand the workings. Would love to see how you would do a full service on one of these if you get the chance.

Great little video! Had it all done and back together in about half an hour! Been meaning to look into doing this for some time now and really pleased I found your video. Thank you so much! 🙂👍🏼

Thanks for sharing this video. Really helped me 😊

[@pissedman1491]

Awesome video. I got one of those reels. I think its over 40 years old... still using it. It will probably never die.

merci pour ce tuto

[@domenicobeltramo6407]

Buonasera. Dove posso trovare il disegno manuale dell' Abu 506? Grazie

[@kimholland9316]

Good job

[@kevinhollis1143]

I have 2 of these. On the housing on the same side as the reel handle is a black button that pushed forward allows for both back wind and.forward wind, the modification in this video is separate to that function??

[@agfishing4898]

Yes, it sounds like you may have a different model (maybe a 1044?). In this case, the mod is not needed.

[@ЮрийТеремки]

Сколько,в этой катушке, подшипников?

[@lifeexperiences4969]

Got bit of play on the handle . How can that be sorted ?

[@agfishing4898]

Take it apart: 1: Is everything done up tight inside? 2: Examine the brass bush in the handle, I've seen them wear. Cheap to buy off eBay, or size up and match with one from a bearing supplier. 3: Look at the gears. If worn, possible to buy new old stock, but might be cheaper to buy another and make one out of 2. I've not come across one where the gears were badly worn personally.

[@antoniopapini2572]

what is that red lip on the spool?

[@agfishing4898]

Its a chenille pipe cleaner that I experimented with as an alternative to the standard stuff. Originally used to prevent the line from being caught behind the bell housing. I chose the brightest colour possible so that it would stand out if dropped in the grass while fishing.

It's is 506
