Braided line was immediately relegated to something your grandfather toted in his battered wooden box.BLACK and CHROME- Sweeden GARCIA ABU AMBASSADEUR 5000C w/BOX& CASE BAIT CASTING FISHING REEL It's very nice with case. 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).
