Product Description
Elevate your angling experience and achieve unparalleled stopping power with the genuine Ambassadeur 1116906 Drag Washer. This high-performance, single carbon fiber washer is the secret weapon for serious anglers looking to upgrade or replace their stock drag systems. Engineered for a seamless fit and superior performance, the 1116906 is a direct replacement part that will breathe new life into your favorite baitcasting reels.
Crafted from a high-quality, proprietary carbon fiber material, often referred to as Carbontex, this drag washer delivers a significant upgrade in both smoothness and power over traditional drag washers. The result is a drag system that engages with silky precision, eliminating the jerky, inconsistent pressure that can lead to lost fish. Whether you're battling a hard-charging bass, a powerful northern pike, or a stubborn redfish, the 1116906 provides the confidence and control you need to land your trophy.
The inherent properties of carbon fiber give this drag washer exceptional durability and heat resistance. During long, grueling fights, heat buildup can cause lesser drag systems to fail or become erratic. The Ambassadeur 1116906 maintains its integrity and consistent performance even under extreme pressure, ensuring your drag is as reliable on the last cast as it is on the first.
This top-tier drag washer is a versatile component, fitting a wide array of popular Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels, as well as select models from other manufacturers. Its precise dimensions of approximately 8.1mm inner diameter, 22.8mm outer diameter, and a thickness of 0.85mm ensure a perfect fit in the main gear of compatible reels.
