Very nice Shakespeare 2499 ultralight reel, made in Japan. Fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and lubed. Mount it to your favorite ultralight rod and go bushwhacking for trout or sit back and get in on the panfish bite. Weighs a mere 5.8 ounces, exceptionally light for its time. Super smooth and ready to fish, display, or even do double duty.
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.
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.
