View Full Version : Garcia Abumatic 170 - spare parts?
I have an old 1960's Garcia Abu-Matic 170 spincast reel on one of my "guest grandkid bluegill" rods. Recently respooling it, I tensioned too much and burst the spool. Anyone know where a guy would find a replacement?

Call Abu Garcia in Spirit Lake Ia. I bet they have one. You can find the toll free number on the website. www.abu-garcia.com LOL Fred

If you can't get the part from the Co. or the price is prohibitive, call me next week between 9:30 - 11:30 PM. I have one for "parts". Spool is good. I'll send it to you for a thank you. If you miss me, you may leave a mailing address or call back. Jim Carpenter 614-443-8414
I'd meet you at a lake, but, I believe your out west? I'm in Ohio.

Also, please clarify if you call. Do you need the stationary spool that holds the line or the line pickup thingee (part that rotates)?
Abu-Garcia is mailing me a new spool -- GRATIS!
Thanks for the offer though.
