Abu Garcia 6500 C3 CT Mag set up

Go for it, absolute bargain.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Where do these knobs get their prices from for feck sake. All the Mag Elites I have got from ebay have been bargains in my eyes. Well worth what I paid for them.

Ian.
They only need one idiot and eBay reaches a lot of people.
 
Here you go Ian try a new one only £130.(y)
That one is now mine (thanks tdxs133pm) ! Dunno if I've mentioned along the way, but I cancelled my original purchase (a later Hi-Speed 6500 model) as seller was bit slow to dispatch with no communication (which always makes me twitch). This one IS with the courier already. Seller accepted £100 offer. Including the additional power handle, I reckon a good deal for an un-used item ! Looking forward to its arrival obviously.
(If I end up not finding need for the extra "power handle" - or simply not like it - I can always sell-on handle for a few quid !)

Q: should I clean out the bearings and re-oil or just add a bit of new oil ?

Best to clean the bearings and a drop of new rocket oil should suffice.

No problem,enjoy.You ended up paying less than wingnut55 (Ian) for a new reel.Nice one with the £100 offer and a new Power Handle.

"Bought a better one than that, unused, boxed with everything, £125".

The one I received today is brand new as well, boxed, tools spare blocks etc. That is five now...Will have four good reels out of the five, one will be used for parts as a bit rough.. (y)

Got my eye on a pair of Chrome Rocket CT's at the moment..;)

Three Chrome Rockets are now mine, and all three in excellent condition. 🎣 🎣

Had some donkeys years ago, wish I had never got rid of them, beasts, but if you can handle them they fly.. ;)
