UPGRADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PART -->CLICK HERE<--
Ensure the flawless, factory-spec performance of your Ambassadeur reel with the Genuine Abu Garcia 23404 Cog Wheel. This essential internal component, also known as the idler gear, is a critical part of the level wind system, responsible for the smooth and even distribution of line across the spool during retrieval.
Crafted with precision from high-quality, durable polymer, the 23404 Cog Wheel is designed to mesh perfectly with the worm gear and main gear, creating the synchronized side-to-side movement of the line carriage. A worn, stripped, or broken cog wheel is a common issue that can cause the level wind to stop functioning, resulting in line piling up in one spot. This can lead to poor casting, line binding, and potential damage to the reel or your line.
Replacing a faulty cog wheel with this genuine part restores the reel's critical line management function, protecting your line from damage and ensuring optimal casting performance and a seamless, powerful retrieve. It is an inexpensive and straightforward repair that can significantly extend the life and performance of your trusted Ambassadeur.
