Abu is serious !
1 Easy to maintain Ambassadeur 3000C can be taken apart only by removing two screws. It is different from Japanese "black box" reels. It meens Abu believes the customers. And it is a message that Abu hopes the customers to use the reels for life. |

Cardinal GM was the first "long spool" spinning reel of Abu. The first model of this type was Daiwa's Tournament SS series. Most long spool reels after SS had the defect that the side cover cannot be taken apart without removing the rotor. But this GM can be taken apart like as normal reels. The copying Asian brands cannot such design. | |
2 Safety design The worm shaft pipe of 3000C is designed to protect the worm shaft from dust and water. |
|
The same parts of SHIMANO reels are opposit direction to 3000C. It meens the design concept is also opposite direction. | |
3 Line roller bush Cardinal 33/44/C3/C4/800/GM used the bushings in their line rollers. Most 80's Japanese reels did not used the bushings. I cannot accept them as a "reel". |
