abu garcia 5500 line counter reel Ambassadeur Conventional Reel, Size (1120893), Carbon Fiber Star Drag, Max of 15lb this reel provides accuracy and power for a variety of situations Abu Garcia Ambs-5500lc Ambassadeur S

The first version had grooved rim side plates with mushroom style takedown screws

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

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

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)

Assistance and tools are VERY limited on site
