20848 PINION GEAR 5.3:1

Product Description

The pinion gear is a critical component that meshes with the main gear to translate the turn of the handle into the rotation of the spool and line guide. A worn, chipped, or damaged pinion gear can result in rough or noisy retrieves, loss of power, and eventual gear failure. Replacing it with a genuine Abu Garcia part guarantees perfect mating with the reel's main gear and restores the factory-spec performance that anglers expect.

This high-quality brass pinion gear is manufactured to Abu Garcia's exact specifications, ensuring durability and a seamless fit in a wide range of their most iconic round baitcasting reels. The 5.3:1 gear ratio offers a "winching" style of retrieve, providing excellent torque for pulling deep-diving crankbaits, slow-rolling spinnerbaits, or fighting strong, stubborn fish. It is the standard ratio for many classic Ambassadeur C3 and C4 models.

Please Note: This pinion gear is designed to work with the corresponding 5.3:1 main gear (Part Number 20845/21200). While it may physically fit in other reels, using it with a main gear of a different ratio will result in improper function and potential damage. It is always highly recommended to consult your reel's specific schematic (exploded diagram) to verify the correct part number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
