Garcia Ambassador reels
« on: May 03, 2021, 05:35:01 PM »
I have enough fishing stuff that some of
it will be at my estate sale unused, but I
used to pick up deals when I found them
if they were priced right.
Used to be a week didn't pass that I didn't
wet a line in one way or another.
I started this newest fishing quest looking
for a pack rod I used to carry everywhere ,
but I can't recall what I did with it.
I've found a good sized mound of stuff I
bought for one reason or another, but still
haven't seen the pack rod yet.
I did find out I had some reels that I
thought were something else, and
now I've found a box with 2 that I don't
remember buying, but I had to have
otherwise they wouldn't be in my junk stash.

One is a Lew's Speed Spool like I've had on a
matching Lew's rod for many years, and the
other is a Garcia Ambassador 1000C
I sure don't remember ever seeing one of
these 1000C's for sale new, or remember
seeing anybody use one. Looks to be a
nice all around reel. Looks similar to a
couple of Shimanos I have , although not
japanese, made by ABU Sweden
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

I've got a new Ambassador reel I bought last year,  but prefer the older ones made in Sweden.
