Abu Garcia 6500 C3 CT Mag set up

"Synchronized level wind system" - on the box of the CT Black ??
Not the original box Dave, seller did state this in the listing. It's a CT Black, very rare edition, and in superb condition. If I recall, one of Russ (Blakdog)'s favourite reels. (y)

That's because the original run was a CS version.Believe CT version was a limited edition.Could be wrong.
Yes CS (level wind) version first, CT came later, and prior to the Black Rocket edition CT.. The original CT's run very very fast, and require a lot of taming. I purchased two CT blacks, one has been centre Magged by Chris Massey. (y)

I found another one of these hidden away the other day that I had forgotten I had :eek:

I lie about how much gear I have to my wife so much now that I've lost track of the actual amount :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
After having a chat with Russ, (Blakdog) his very good advice was to go for mono mags, so am about to purchase a pair from him, much better for the reels when fishing. Centre mag will be removed and mono mag fitted, and mono mag fitted to the other reel. ;)

Thanks for the advice Russ. (y)

You seriously need to check all bodily crevices & orifices for hidden magnets that are strongly attracting you to these multiple items of metal fishing tackle !! 😂😂😂😂😂
Karen has just said if i keep going, we will need a bigger house Dave... 🤣 🤣

Funny you should say that, we had this built last year..

That looks more like a granny annex to me rather than a fishing tackle store. How is granny finding it - is she managing to shuffle past/around the tackle without getting caught ?
