Light weight and economy model on mid 80's. Resin body makes it light and low price. It is simple so its weight is only 190g. It enploies centrifugal brake. "Shaftless"ultra cast design spool. Though its body is resin, spool is aluminum. Ambassadeurs never use plastic spools. It is Henry Dreyfuss design. Although it is economy model, it is not like toy as Japanese economy reels. You may say, "It is your prejudice". But Shimano's economy bait reel has "kangaroo bumper" on its face.

3000C

90's low profile bait reel. First model was SM3000C. This series changed its name and colors year by year. Aluminum die-casted one piece body. Its aggressive design is made by Porche's designer. It has magnetic and cntrifugal brakes. But it is Daiwa's patent. So Abu says "When you use centrifugal brake, set the magnetic brake on zero position" on its manual. Of course you can use both of them. The newest model is T-Pro3000C LW. It is light weight model (240g). "T" is "Tournament". But "Tournament" is Daiwa's TM. So this model called "T" in Japan.

I removed coil spring whitch lifted thumb bar.
