I picked up an ABU Garcia 5000C today for $10. It is in very good shape.
Does anyone still use such tackle?
I could never afford it when I was a kid.
I am going to pair it with an Eagle Claw 5'3" Blue Diamond.

I don't see anyone using them for Bass fishing
Catfish and striper/Hybrid guys like them

Where did you find that deal. I have some and they cast better than my 3 yo seldom used poc high dollar Revo PREMIER.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he will sit in a boat all day and drink beer.

I found it at a community garage sale.
It needed cleaning but the gears looked like new.
I had trouble getting the washers in the stem back in the right order. They fell out as I was taking it apart.
There seem to be steel and bronze washers.
Any help will be appreciated.

Bill Just type in diagrams for 5000c...you will get the complete breakdown.
I would agree with you , but then we would both be WRONG !!!!!

I tried several sites but cannot get my model. I guess the 5000C has been around a while. Maybe with thumb bars, and so forth.
I have one of the early models with the small pearl handles.

The 5000c is the same as the 5000 , they use a brass bushing on the spool of the 5000, The 5000c has ball bearings on the spool.
I would agree with you , but then we would both be WRONG !!!!!
