Product Description
Now available in two versions: with Super Porting for enhanced performance or the standard model for traditional efficiency. The ported variant boasts a significant weight reduction, tipping the scales at just 2.09 grams compared to the original's 2.49 grams – that's a near 19% decrease in weight!
In a groundbreaking development, we've integrated two stainless steel ball bearings into the Ambassadeur idler gear. Precision-engineered in our facilities, these gears are designed to accommodate two ABEC 7 bearings (included), markedly improving the gear's speed and ensuring a longer, smoother casting experience. Compatible with a wide array of reel sizes, from 4000 to 6600, this upgrade is perfect for nearly all classic round Ambassadeurs. This kit serves as a direct replacement for the original 23404 Idler gear and 23403 Spool gear, and includes a machined idler gear, a spool gear, two stainless bearings, a 4490 c-clip for backup or replacement, and a tuning shim washer.
For instructions on removing your old idler gear and conducting a spin test, please refer to the videos provided below.
It's important to note that these idler gears are not suitable for certain models, including the UC series, which requires the 23293 idler gear due to differing tooth profiles.

ABU Dual bearing Idler Gear
The ABU dual bearing wormgear kit along with the Abu Dual Bearing Idler Gear Kit has increased the casting distance on my Abu Garcia 6500 Pro Rocket reels from 160 feet to 205 feet. That's a 28% increase in casting distance! As a bank angler this allows me to access locations that I previously could not, providing better fishing opportunities I didn't have before.
