UPGRADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PART -->CLICK HERE<--
Restore the smooth casting and powerful retrieve of your Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reel with the Genuine Abu Garcia Spool Pinion, Part No. 23403. This precision-engineered component is a critical part of your reel's drive train, responsible for engaging with the spool and main gear to deliver the flawless performance that has made Ambassadeur reels a legend in the fishing world.
Crafted to the highest standards of quality and durability, this genuine OEM part ensures a perfect fit and restores your reel to factory specifications. The pinion gear is the vital link that allows the spool to disengage for a long, friction-free cast and then instantly re-engage for a smooth and powerful retrieve. Over time, this essential part can show signs of wear, leading to a rough or noisy retrieve, poor casting distance, or difficulty engaging the gears. Replacing a worn pinion with the authentic 23403 part is one of the most effective ways to bring back that "out-of-the-box" feel.
Whether you are performing routine maintenance, completing a full restoration of a classic reel, or repairing a trusted workhorse, using genuine Abu Garcia parts is essential for maintaining the performance, integrity, and value of your investment.
