Aki-san taught me to take these reels apart and re-arrange them to be what they should not be. For this I blame him for everything. However, this fisho never knew that I would actually appreciate the once long forgotten game of early 50's and 60's topwater bass game.
For this, I introduce the Abu Ambassadeur 5500DA model. This is the direct drive reel with a drag plate. Many Japanese anglers love this technique. Mamoru san of Matagi (Osaka, Jp) is a big fan and collector of these reels. We both agree on one thing: Ambassadeur + Fenwick + Featherweight Champion Handle !
