Quick history lesson: Back in the days before commercials, when there was just river fishing, the Abu 507 closed-face reel was the weapon of choice for the serious flowing-water matchman

Then when commercial-fishery carp replaced river chub and roach as the quarry of populist choice many of these Reels were consigned to the tackle museum at the back of the shed, being sought only by collectors or die-hard river nuts

The larger design of the 507 makes for a more powerfull reel than the 506, especially when targetting bigger fish and when longer casts and trotting is required
