I then began taking the the side plates off of the frames and disassembling the right side plate. Essentially the bearings sit on each side of the spool as shown as below. These bushings/bearings hold the spool off of the side plates and aid in easing the friction of the spool spinning.
Once again I noticed that the 7000ics and 7000ic3 had similar bearings, while the 7000i had a bushing. I then took the right side tension knob off and removed the bearings and bushings of each reel. I found that other than the clicker mechanism the rest of the parts were similar. I then took the side plate off and began looking for differences. The 7000ics and 7000ic3 had bearings located within the tension knob, and the 7000i had a bushing. I began by removing the left side plate tension knob and removing the bearing/bushings located inside the tension knob. Since I have all three models I decided to take a look for myself.Ībove is a picture of a 7000ics, 7000ic3, and a 7000i from left to right. I have heard that the 7000ics (Pro Rocket) has more bearings than the 7000ici, that the bearings are sealed in the 7000ics, the 7000icics have bearings and the 7000i has bushings, that the 7000ics has a better drag system than the 7000ic3, etc.
I have done a little research and I know what random people on forums, blogs, and other websites say about the differences between each model. You can see that by the price the 7000i is cheapest, 7000ic3 is the mid range model, and the 7000ics is the most expensive and supposedly of the highest quality. A year ago I purchased a few used Abu Garcia 7000's, including a 7000i, a 7000ic3, and a 7000ics. I have often wondered what the differences between my Abu Garcia 7000 models were. I know Fishstik was asking a few questions about his reel, maybe this will help. I felt it might answer a few questions some people might have about the differences in the Abu Garcia 7000 models. The company remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highest quality, most innovative products.I wrote this up for the blog. That's why Abu Garcia later received the honor of being chosen "Purveyor To The Royal Swedish Court," a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers for consistently exceeding its highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.Ību Garcia's influence on the sportfishing community is unmatched. Undaunted, ABU redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels used by anglers the world over. Unfortunately, World War II caused a sharp decline in the demand for taxi meters. The company manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers and taxi meters.īorgström was a brilliant craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering skills he had acquired during his years in the Halda watchmaking factory. In 1921, by the river of Mörrum in Svängsta, Sweden, Carl August Borgström founded AB Urfabriken.
