New old stock model produced in 2000. Built for finesse fishing, this one features a lightweight shallow spool, new line guide which positions the aperture further from the spool, a low thumb bar, 90mm duralumin handle with rosewood knobs, and a carbon drag. No corners were cut and it will be happy chasing both bass and trout alike. Made in Sweden, perfected in Michigan. Box and all associated literature included. This is a one of a kind you will not find anywhere but Ashlin Fishing!

Replacement pinion bearing for ABU Cardinal 3/33 and Zebco Cardinal 3 models.

This is TSI 321. If you know, you know. If you don’t, buy some! Very well deserved of the hype surrounding it. It works best with spool bearings, level winds, and line rollers on spinning reels. Comes in a 15mL dropper bottle.

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.

Carbon drag washers for the ABU Cardinal 3 and other variants such as the ABU Cardinal 33, Zebco Cardinal 3, and newer reproduction Daysprout Cardinal 3/33 reels. These replace the worn bakelite washers. Ultralight grease recommended.

This is a replacement for the Abu 5229 o-ring. If yours is broken or dry rotted, this is what you need to give your spool tension cap a smooth action that will stay in place under use.

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.

M3 E-clip for affixing handles and cogs. This is not an Abu original part, but is of the same dimensions.

Original dead stock press arm for the 1500C, 2500C, and 3500C.

Replace your worn or deformed pinion yoke. This is a dead stock original ABU part, no longer produced. It fits the 1500C, 2500C, and 3500C.

Available in three grades; 0, 1, and 2.

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.

Many aftermarket 'performance' bearings achieve high spin times by loosening tolerances. This looks cool on Instagram, but under actual fishing conditions, that slop compromises performance and ruins the retrieve feel. There is a misconception that "louder and faster on the table" means better on the water. We disagree. We use NMB stainless bearings because they are the gold standard of precision engineering. They are quiet, consistent, and smooth under load. Ceramics are only useful for fishing saltwater where environmental conditions warrant their use. We aren’t in the business of selling hype, we sell results.
