What parts would need to be replaced to bring it "up to par" with a C3 or better.ģ. Does anyone have experience with this particular reel?Ģ. I'll also be matching the pimped out reel to an Ugly Stik Tiger Lite rod rated 'heavy'.ġ. So, my plan is to get started with this $70 combo for trolling from kayak in both fresh and saltwater, and later, upgrading the reel with bearings over bushings and with better drag washers and things like that.
#HOW TO CLEANING AN ABU GARCIA AMBASSADEUR 5000 REEL UPGRADE#
But, I noticed quite a few folks like to upgrade thier Abu reels. Anyway, based on my online research, the reel is (obviously) not up to par with a C3 which is so highly praised and valued among many circles in the fishing community.
I'm not too crazy bout the rod but the reel looked like a keeper especially since it's "made in Sweden" and not "made in China". I'm not a big fan of the idea of taking expensive rod/reel combos out with me when kayak fishing so, I saw that Walmart sells some rod/reel setups that include a generic Berkley rod matched with a Abu Garcia Ambassadeur One 5000 round baitcasting reel. Since I'm new to the kayak fishing scene, and since I've never used anything but a spinning reel in my life, I was wondering if I could get everyone's advice and/or recommendations on my plans for this reel. I'm looking to put together a couple of matching trolling combos to use while kayaking.
