| What you have is an Ambassador 4000, which you already probably knew! From the foot number it was madei n 1973. I'm guessing the gear ratio is about 3.8 to 1. This was a lower priced alternative to the Abu 5000 and they tried to make it a little more "modern" with the plastic side plates. I would not recomend it's use for any serious musky fishing other than to take it out every once in a while as a nice way to remember your grnadpa. |
