Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000i Salmon Special Baitcasting Reel 4.1:1 Right

Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000i Salmon Special — Built for Big Fish Power

With over 50 years of engineering heritage, the Ambassadeur 7000i Salmon Special is a proven workhorse for salmon and big-game trolling. Its robust construction, carbon drag, and centrifugal brake deliver the stopping power and control you need when the fish of a season is on the line.

Carbon Drag System for Serious Fish

The Power Disk carbon drag delivers 9 kg of maximum stopping power with smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight. Whether you're battling a heavy salmon or a saltwater predator, the star drag adjustment lets you fine-tune resistance on the fly, while the corrosion-resistant instant anti-reverse bearing locks the spool the moment you start cranking.

Durable Gearing and Reliable Line Management

Duragear brass gearing extends service life even under sustained trolling loads, and the 4.1:1 gear ratio recovers 55 cm of line per handle turn—ideal for working large baits and controlling deep-running presentations. The centrifugal brake system prevents overruns during cast or drop-back, and the line-out alarm alerts you to a take while you're watching other rods or navigating.
