Abu Garcia COMP CLUTCH/BRAKE BLOCKS (Part # 1116727)
This is a genuine factory replacement part for Abu Garcia baitcasting reels. The small, white nylon blocks (Part # 1116727) are the brake blocks, or brake weights, that are essential components of the centrifugal braking system in many Ambassadeur and other Abu Garcia round baitcasting reels.
These blocks are fitted onto pins located on the end of the spool. As the spool spins during a cast, centrifugal force pushes these blocks outward, causing them to make contact with a metal brake ring or drum on the reel's side plate. The resulting friction creates a braking force that helps control the spool's speed, preventing backlash and overruns, especially at the beginning of the cast when the spool is spinning fastest.
Over time, these blocks can wear down or become lost, particularly during spool changes or maintenance. Replacing worn or missing brake blocks is critical to restoring the reel's original casting control and performance. This part typically includes a set of blocks to ensure you have replacements on hand.
Key Features:
- Genuine Abu Garcia Part: Ensures perfect fit and function in compatible reels.
- Restores Casting Control: Essential for the proper operation of the centrifugal braking system.
- Prevents Backlash: Helps control spool speed to minimize line overruns.
- Durable Nylon Construction: Designed to withstand the friction and force of high-speed casting.

Substitute Part Numbers:
There are no direct substitute part numbers issued by Abu Garcia for the 1116727 brake blocks. This is the primary and correct part number for the small, white nylon centrifugal brake blocks for the models listed. Using an incorrect size or material can negatively impact the reel's braking performance and potentially damage the brake ring. It is critical to use this genuine part for repairs and maintenance.
