The gutter system helps in preventing slippage during a big fish dragging. The weight of the reel must be mentioned as it is only 10 oz due to its carbon matrix body, which is very low for a 4500/5500 sized saltwater reel.The reel is very durable with high quality construction and premium materials.On the other hand, the roller bearing stops the reversing function instantly. I was going through some of my Father-in-Law's old fishing equipment and came across an ABU Ambassadeur 5000 Sweedish made reel with the 348960 stamped on the bottom.This makes a big difference to muscle fatigue after a long days fishing. The dragging force of the reel is only 15 lbs, which is less than other alternate options. It was mounted on a Heddon Pal 6308 Mark IV 6' rod.

I found casting to be lower distance than a spinning reel and less accurate than a baitcaster.
Braided line was immediately relegated to something your grandfather toted in his battered wooden box.
During the late 1950s, mono pointed straight (even while stretching) to the future. An adjustable star drag regulated the tension on the outgoing line against the locked handle.Īnd, unlike the sputtering freewheelers, the Ambassadeur 5000 with its plastic spool and centrifugal brake was the first casting reel that could handle the introduction of springy monofilament line. It boasted a patented centrifugal brake to control the windmilling spool during the cast and an anti-reverse mechanism to eliminate backspinning during the retrieve. The import, distributed as the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5000, incorporated a push-button free-spool design that disengaged the spool from the handle. The red abu ambassadeur 5000, imported from Sv¿¿ngsta, Sweden, by AB Urfabriken, debuted in the United States at the 1954 New York World’s Fair (ABU’s European precursor to the Ambassadeur was the Record series).
