5145 SPOOL CENTERING SHIM 4-7000

Product Description

Ensure flawless line lay and optimal casting performance in your legendary Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reel with the genuine 5145 Spool Centering Shim (Part #4-7000). This precision-engineered component is essential for eliminating side-to-side spool play, a common issue that can lead to inconsistent line retrieve, premature line wear, and reduced casting distance and accuracy.

This seemingly simple shim plays a critical role in the intricate mechanics of your Ambassadeur reel. Positioned within the cast control cap assembly, the 5145 shim provides the precise spacing needed to perfectly center the spool within the frame. This meticulous alignment ensures that your fishing line winds evenly onto the spool during retrieve, preventing the frustrating "bunching" or "digging in" that can plague a less-than-perfectly tuned reel. A properly centered spool, thanks to this shim, allows for smoother, longer, and more controlled casts, giving you the confidence to place your lure exactly where the big ones are hiding.

Over time and with heavy use, the original spool centering shim can become worn, compressed, or even lost during routine maintenance. This can result in noticeable and detrimental side-to-side movement of the spool. Replacing a worn or missing shim with the genuine Abu Garcia 5145 part is a straightforward and cost-effective way to restore your reel to its factory-spec performance.

This versatile shim is also known by the alternate part number 20917.
