Ambassadeur 12642 Line Alarm Plate: A Redesigned Classic for Unmistakable Strike Detection
Restore or upgrade your classic Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reel with the redesigned 12642 Line Alarm Plate. This genuine replacement part is crucial for a functioning and audible clicker, ensuring you never miss a strike. Engineered for durability and reliable performance, this component is the heart of the line-out alarm system in many of an Ambassadeur's most iconic round baitcasting reels.
The 12642 Line Alarm Plate is a testament to Abu Garcia's commitment to quality and longevity. As a redesigned component, it offers enhanced durability and a more consistent and audible click, an improvement over older, sometimes less reliable, versions. Whether you're trolling for salmon, casting for catfish, or live-baiting for trophy fish, a fully functional line alarm is an indispensable tool. This plate ensures that when a fish takes your bait and starts running, you'll be alerted with the classic, unmistakable sound of an Ambassadeur clicker.
This part is often sold as a key component of a complete clicker assembly, which may also include the clicker switch (part #12647), spacing sleeves (part #12134), switch lock (part #12648), and alarm pin (part #12649). For a complete overhaul of your reel's line alarm system, it is recommended to inspect these related parts as well.
