Used brake plate with everything you need for a thumb bar left hand model; 4601, 5601, or 6601. Can be used with push-button models with the addition of the release trigger, part number 21869. Pinion gear is a 4-slot so it will work with the newer 6-pin brake only. 5.3:1 gears. Cleaned and ready to install.
High viscosity oil for use in support bearings and level wind mechanisms in baitcast and spinning reels. We do not recommend this being used in synchronized level wind reels like Ambassadeurs and larger Shimano Calcutta models. This oil lasts a long time and doesn't emulsify in water. The reel may feel stiff until it is fully run in, then it transitions to a much smoother and connected feeling. Comes in a 15mL dropper bottle.
This is a marine-spec grease specifically for metal to metal contact surfaces, fortified with molybdenum. Microscopic pores in the metal are filled, creating a slick surface resulting in utmost refined smoothness. Molybdenum may cause slight discoloration, but if you’re looking, you ain’t fishing. A little goes a very long way. Apply lightly until the metal has a slight haze. Comes in a 5g jar.
These are a great alternative to the Abu 4490 E-clip. Easier to install and remove without fear of getting lost. Additionally, they put less friction on the cog wheel when used in place of the 4490 E-clip. These o-rings can be used to secure the spool pinion on the 1500C/2500C models and the pinion cup removed, creating less potential for friction. Sold in packs of 5.
These are Carbontex replacements for the ABU 10271 and 3902 drag washers found in the small ABU Ambassadeur models 1500C, 2500C, and 3500C. They will also work with the thumb bar operated 1600CIAR, 2600CIAR, and 2600C Elite. Precision cut from 1mm Carbontex sheeting, they will give your drag a smooth startup and more bite at the top end.
For 1992 and up Abu Ambassadeur 4000-6000 C3 and C4 models. They are also compatible with the 1992-2000 Black Max, Pro Max, and other variants on that platform. Simply omit the base washer as it is occupied by the level wind idler gear in those models.
Some aftermarket bearings achieve impressive spin times by loosening internal tolerances to reduce drag, which makes for great content online. This doesn’t tell much about real-world performance. That extra slop translates directly to added noise and a less refined feel when it matters most.
The idea that "louder and faster on the bench" equals better on the water is a common misconception. We evaluate bearings based on how they contribute to the complete system, not just a free spool test.
Ceramics certainly have their place, particularly corrosion resistance and extremely high operating speeds. However, bearing selection should be geared toward the intended purpose rather than marketing tricks or impressive bench test numbers.
That’s why we exclusively use NMB bearings. Renowned for their consistency, precision, and manufacturing quality. They provide the smoothness, durability, and predictable performance required from a correctly blueprinted reel.
