Abu Garcia® puts another great idea into their reels.
The Ambassadeur® D Series Reel uses The Smart Mag Brake™ system.
The reel combines magnetic and mechanical brake adjustment in one
place.
A single dial controls spool tension from tight control for casting
heavy lure and windy condition to zero spool tension for finesse
fishing and close range pitching. D Series reels handle all fishing
situations.
The
D Series reels have many features to match anglers’ styles and preferences.
First, The D Series reel is a small round reel with the large line
capacity. The 5600 models holds 205 yards of 12 lb Trilene, which
is great for
long casts. Next, the small size makes the reel easier for guys who
like to palm the reel when fishing. The reel has a 5.3:1 gear ratio
with five
ball bearings. Another fantastic attribute is the price. The retail
price for the 5600 is around 95 dollars.
The Smart Mag Brake™ is the best feature of this reel. This feature
makes the reel easy for any angler to use. The directions for use are
simple. Tie on your favorite lure or rig. Tighten the Smart Mag Brake™ to
the tightest setting. Cast the lure to a target. Before casting again,
adjust the Smart Mag Brake if more distance or less tension is needed.
Adjustments to the reel are quick and easy with the control built
into one place. If the angler faces different condition such as stiff
winds,
a simple turn of the knob puts the correct tension on the spool for
better control and smooth casts.
I tried several lures and rods with the new reel. Adjusting the reel
was very easy. I turn the knob to the maximum setting on the first
cast. Depending on the lure, it only took a few adjustments and cast
before the optimum setting was found. After that point, repeated cast
were great. The reel handled big buzz baits and small finesse rigs
the same. A few cast to adjust the tension and I was thinking about
fishing not worrying about backlashes.
This is a dynamite reel. The drag system is a precision click star
drag. The reel is round but small enough to palm. The D Series
reel holds
15% more line that similar round reels. The patented Smart Mag
Brake™ adjusts
for worry free fishing. After all, fishing is a pleasure sport.
