I just found mone from when I was a kid. Im doing to say it was from 1998?

I have a newer Abu Garcia 5601 c4 and I’m thinking of buying one of the older ones like this on eBay but I’m not real familiar with them. I noticed they have another knob on the side plate. Is that like a secondary spool tensioner? Just curious, you did a really good job with the maintenance too.

[@senmonaits]

yes that's right there is another spool tensioner, it also allows you to adjust the spool a little bit sideways in the reel.

Which products do you use, the blue grease and the oil?

[@senmonaits]

Hei. I use Penn Precision Reel Grease and Penn Precision Reel Oil. most important is to use grease and oils that are made for use in fishing reels. and i use Cal's Universal Drag Grease for my drag washers.

@@senmonaits Thanks, found them on eBay 👍

[@thedonssp]

i have a 6500 and cant get the reel to catch and spin. any advice?

[@senmonaits]

Hei thedonssp. I've experienced it once before, the solution on my reel was a thorough cleaning and new lubrication, if it does not solve the problem you need to see if there are any parts that are starting to get worn down or broken. is a little difficult for me to find a solution without seeing it for myself, but there are an incredible number of problems with reels that are solved with cleaning and re-lubrication. Sorry that I can’t be more helpful.
