Other Collectible Tackles
Over the years of collecting ABU Ambassadeur reels, I will occasionally see some
interesting or very collectible tackles. As with the ABU list, most of these items are
actual listings on www.ebay.com with actual descriptions
by the seller.
Probably there is life beyond ABU :)

"This is a one-of-a-kind fishing tackle collectible. It
is an antique Fin Nor big game series reel that was made to order by Fin Nor in the late
1930's or early 1940's (or so says the folks at Fin Nor). It is matched with a split
bamboo and spruce(?) rod manufactured by Tycoon Rod in Hialeah, Florida for the Fin Nor.
All rod and reel hardware is original and include the line guides, rod seats, Cherry wood
rod butt, and chrome butt tip. The reel and hardware is in original condition and has not
be refurbished or rechromed. The rod was completely refinished by Tycoon Rods in about
1985, and with the butt handle, measures roughly 6 1/2 foot tall. This is the same outfit
that Ernest Hemingway would have used to fish for marlin and tuna from the Pilar"
