Product Description
Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000 Single Bearing Idler Gear
Product Overview
The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000 Single Bearing Idler Gear is a high-performance upgrade component designed to enhance the casting distance and retrieval smoothness of your 7000-series reel. Unlike the standard factory-installed plastic cog, which relies on a simple bushing or post friction, this upgraded idler gear features a precision-integrated ball bearing.
By reducing the rolling resistance within the level wind system, this gear allows the spool to spin more freely, resulting in longer, effortless casts and reduced wear on the worm drive. It is an essential modification for surf casters, catfish anglers, and musky hunters looking to maximize the efficiency of their heavy-duty round reels. The gear is machined to exact tolerances to ensure perfect mesh with the spool pinion and worm shaft gear.
Key Features
-
Integrated Bearing Technology: Replaces the standard friction-based operation with a smooth-rolling ball bearing for superior spool speed.
-
Friction Reduction: Significantly lowers drag in the level wind drive train, allowing for increased casting distance with heavy lures and bait rigs.
-
Direct Replacement: Designed to fit seamlessly onto the existing idler post of compatible 7000-series side plates without permanent modification.
-
Enhanced Durability: Provides a more stable rotation under load compared to stock nylon bushings, reducing the risk of binding during high-torque retrieves.
-
Smoother Operation: Quiets the level wind mechanism and improves the overall feel of the reel during cranking.
