Abu Garcia 1600 Black Max Ambassadeur Reel
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the previous help; much appreciated. Have a 20+ year old Abu Garcia Black Max 1600 Ambassadeur bait casting reel. Really like it a lot. Fine Product. But, time for someting new. From their site, it seems that their C3 series is the closest that they now offer. True ? But, from the pix, it does seem a bit "different" from what I have now. As I will have to order from a catalog without actually seeing one, I am wondering if anyone has one, and might answer the following: - is the C3 actually the closest now to my old 1600 ? Have they given up the black color ? - what is the push-lever on the flange for ? my 1600 does not have this. is it to replace the thumb push-bar on my 1600 that allows the spool to free-spool when depressed on casting ? - on these new models, like their new C3, does the level wind bail now follow the line during casting (unlike my reel, where it stays stationary on casting) ? - is there still a knob on the flange faceplate (the pix on their site doesn't seem to show one) for adjusting the reel "drag" DURING the cast to minimize backlash ? Thanks, Bob |
