Re: closed face reels
507 - original - a beaut! - the larger spool and gears make it ideal for heavier lines and bigger fish like chub & barbel when trotting.

Re: closed face reels
I remember buying a 506 at Denham car boot for what I thought was a bargain £28.In very nice condition,smooth and still with its AR but I forgot to check under the cowl.At home I discovered the line pick-up assembly was missing.Really annoyed with myself for not checking properly.I did some very excellent swear words.Silly old twit.
