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. 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.I found casting to be lower distance than a spinning reel and less accurate than a baitcaster.More AND SNAPS BACK STRONG! IT HAS A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT NICK SPOTS BUT NO ACTUAL"RASHING" THAT ARE NORMALLY SEEN ON AN EARLY MODEL LIKE THIS.I would primarily use this reel for trolling or dropping bait. IT HAS A CELLULOID FAUX PEARL DOUBLE HANDLE AND NOT THE COUNTER-BALANCED TYPE YOU TYPICALLY SEE ON THESE! THIS IS A SWEDEN MADE VINTAGE REEL AND IS ALSO A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTABLE! THE REEL WORKS JUST AS IT SHOULD AND COULD BE FISHED WITH AS SOON AS YOU GET IT, BUT COULD USE A SLIGHT CLEANING! THE REEL HAS SOME SMALLER FLAKING SPOTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE REEL FOOT BUT OTHER THAN THAT YOU WILL FIND 2 OR 3 SMALL NICKS THAT SHOW UP IN THE PICS. THE TWO MOST OBVIOUS ARE ON THE LEFT PLATE ON THE BOTTOM AS SEEN IN THE PICS! IT DOES COME WITH A CASE AND THE PARTS/OIL BOTTLES AND PIECES ARE ALSO INCLUDED.
THE CASE HAS SOME LOOSE FELT ON THE INSIDE AND IS NOT IN MINT CONDITION!ĪBU GARCIA Ambassadeur 5000 AB Urfabriken Svangsta Sweden Baitcasting Fishing Reel Serial Number 392414 You are bidding on a ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur 5000.
