abu garcia 5500 line counter reel Ambassadeur Conventional Reel, Size (1120893), Carbon Fiber Star Drag, Max of 15lb Trusted by anglers the world over Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Line Counter

The bottom drag washer(far left) is hard fiber and the top drag washer(right of gear) is leather

A list of things I use: Clean lint free cloths Suitable solvent (lighter fluid is good) Small flat blade screwdriver Small Phillips screwdriver Spanner to fit handle nut Reel oil Reel grease Small paintbrush Toothbrush I find that having everything organised first saves time and makes it easier to find the bits that drop off (they will)

I use 4 inch on smaller rod 8ft and 6 inch on larger 9ft...really the 6 inch and above are made for salmon trolling and spawned the current reels like the islander and shimano BC mooching style

This kit is confirmed to fit the following Ambassadeur models (and many more): Ambassadeur C3 Series: 4600 C3 4601 C3 5500 C3 5501 C3 6500 C3 6501 C3 Ambassadeur C4 Series: 4600 C4 4601 C4 5600 C4 5601 C4 6600 C4 6601 C4 Ambassadeur 4000 Series: 4500C 4600C And other variants in the 4000 size range

The rod is specced for 3/8 to 1-ounce lures, and while that 1-ounce rating is ambitious, I find it perfect for 1/2-ounce jigs and spinnerbaits
