Here for your consideration is very good example of where Abu ended up in the beginning of 1980 with the iconic Cardinal 3 (33)
While not as sought after as some of the early reels this little boxed set reel does have a big following
Painted in the ceramic type paint this reel is better known as the Tan & Black Cardinal 3
In 1977-78 Abu were using a paint called Champagne which sadly was not very good for wear, all too easy to rub through the surface
And leave your new purchase looking old after its first day of use.
Those models done in that paint are the more collectable reels especially if in good condition.
1978 saw the change of paint as I said to this harder wearing paint, yes it marks too but not so easy.
Anyway the reel has seen very little use, probably 2 or 3 times looking at the condition of the reel.
All works as it should and comes with the extra spool, papers spanner and of course a tidy box which most of the time was thrown away.
Great collectors piece or can be used no problem to fish with.
Serial number shows the reel is from 1980 and with the silver band removed on this model around the name plate it shows
it is one of the last Cardinal 3 reels made in this colour.
