My experience is only with the more common low-profile casters. The Abu 6500 is a heavy-duty round reel, I believe. I still have two Swedish-made 5500 Abu reels from the early 70s, a regular red one and a more upscale black. Impressive for their day and probably more suited for catfish duty than a reel you'd make 200 casts with every day.
