A.-B. UFABRIKEN + Charles Garcia=ABU Garcia

I thought anglers with their reels can enjoy learning more about the Company.
It is 50 minute long.

It is also interesting to hear some Swedish language.

Good story. It inspired me to dig-up my old Ambassador XL and pass it on to my Son!

Thanks guys.

I too have to look into my old gear.

I know I have the Mitchel 300 spinning with the extra spool.

I bought it because of all the advertising in the fishing magazines.

It is my first spinning reel, before my Zebco rod and spincast reel combo.

I caught a ton of fish on my old Mitchell 300, wish I still had it
