Hubilie 666 A3

[jimmy z]

This a Hubilie 666A3, from Omoto. This reel has a5.3:1 gear ratio, and 3x10x4 stock bearings, in the side plates. A feature I like. The spool is flanged, and it has a strong chrome/brass frame. The handle in the photo's is a newer Abu 700o power handle. I used this because of the width of the gear stem. A 6500 power handle would not fit on the stem. Which is fine. The stock drags will be replaced, maybe. The stem has a clicker gear, like the older Abu's. A nice feature. It has a dog/ratchet type A/R, like it's larger 777S3 cousin, and some Abu reels.
From what I can see, and if it's like the 777 I have, than this one will be a winner!

Hi JZ,

great shots of the Omoto 666-A3,I have not opened mine yet since she has not seen water yet.
I am waiting for my sticks to arrive then it is on!
I'll tear down my omoto -5000 and 6000 down to show after half season action.

I'm sure the Jungles and the Hubilie's have the same guts.

Hi JZ,

you have not mentioned about your fishing with the newest member of Omoto's reel fam.
I like mine but,I really prefer the bearings in the sideplate.
I will speak mor about the cheif/wavecaster at seasons end.
