In all some wear as mentioned but a good wo rking vintage piece in solid ready to fish for those who acquire vintage tackle for their outings.

Also the line run clicker works well, tics as line is peeling out so you don't crank against a hard running fish. And an well working clutch which dis-engages immediately on first crank. H as a good freespool mode with dual manual backlash controls and air-brakes. The Super-Sized and Zoom-Able pictures are of the reel which show it quite well. Star and crank in good shape with normal cosmetic wear. Plates are in good shape but they do have rash to the top and bottom portions with some lite scratches and nic's. Braided line was immediately relegated to something your grandfather toted in his battered wooden box.ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur 5000 AB Urfabriken Svangsta Sweden Baitcasting Fishing Reel Serial Number 392414 You are bidding on a ABU GARCIA Ambassadeur 5000. 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 SvÂ¿Â¿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).
