My main reel however is a late 50's vintage Abu 5000 with the freewheeling spool, these tend to get set up differently than a traditional "knuckle duster" direct drive! 
I also wrap my arbors, so the slippery line does not spin, some of my Pfluegars have a cork spacer arbor you can out on for light mono, they work pretty danged well.

very neat reels there cat. My sisters boyfriend just brought me over an older abu to look up, and sell or use. From what I can find I think its a 1973 Ambassadeur 7000. Its never been used and is still in box with pouch, reel oil etc. Seems pretty sweet not sure if I have a use for it but might have to just cause its so cool.
