22808 POSITION HOLDER

Product Description

Ensure crisp, reliable casting performance from your classic Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reel with the genuine Abu Garcia 22808 Position Holder. This small but crucial internal component is essential for the proper function of the clutch and spool release system in a range of legendary Ambassadeur round baitcasting reels.

The 22808 Position Holder plays a vital role in the casting mechanism. It works in direct concert with the clutch release carriage and the pinion gear, serving as a guide and a stop. When you press the thumbar or push-button to cast, this component ensures the clutch mechanism disengages correctly, allowing the spool to spin freely for a long, smooth cast. When the handle is turned to re-engage the reel for retrieval, the position holder helps guide the pinion gear back into place, ensuring a solid and seamless transition from casting to cranking.

Over time, this part can become worn, brittle, or even break due to the constant pressure and movement it endures. A faulty position holder can lead to a "spongy" or inconsistent thumbar feel, a failure to properly disengage the spool for casting, or difficulty in re-engaging the reel. Replacing a worn 22808 Position Holder is a critical maintenance step to restore your reel's original factory performance and feel.
