| Product Introduction



Reel: ABU Ambassadeur 5500D (780200)

Microcast Spool for Ambassadeur 5500 OLD.
Can be mounted on the Old Ambassadeur 5500 and 5500D.
The Ambassadeur 5500 began production in 1975 and continued until 1980.
Early models were brown in color, changing to red from 1977.
Also, for a short period in 1977 only, a champagne gold model was produced.
The Ambassadeur 5500D was produced only for a short period from 1977 to 1979.
Unlike the 5000D, it does not have a line alarm mechanism.

Even among Ambassadeur 5500 reels of the same name, this does not fit the Palming model, ULTRACAST model, C3, etc., so please be careful not to make a mistake.
Compatibility with the Simon Shimomura model is unconfirmed.




Fits reels with the spool shaft shape shown in the photo.
The photo shows the cogwheel removed.
Remove the cogwheel and check the shape of the part that becomes hidden.

| Features

By lightening the spool and reducing the line capacity, the overall spool weight can be significantly reduced.
This greatly improves the minimum castable lure weight while also extending casting distance for lures of the same weight.
