C. AMBASSADEUR FAMILY OF CONVENTIONAL REELS: Packed with tradition, the ambassadeur series of conventional reels offers time tested performance and durability. The family includes Alphamar LC, Big Game, 7000i C3, 7000i C3 CT MAG HS, and 7000i. D. HOW TO FILL THE SPOOL WITH LINE All ambassadeur conventional reels are designed for monofilament, braid and fluorocarbon lines. Personal preference and fishing conditions will determine line selection.

If a spring scale is unavailable, tie the line to a secure point. With the rod tip up (about a 45 degree vertical angle), apply pressure by turning the handle. Gradually tighten the drag star. When the line reaches its breaking point, loosen the adjustment star ¼ turn. F. REMOVING THE SIDEPLATE Ambassadeur conventional reels (except Alphamar LC) are equipped with a removable handle sideplate that allows access to the spool and gears.

c) Release the thumb from the spool as the rod is brought forward so that the lure is launched slightly upward and outward toward your target. As the lure approaches the water surface stop the spool with your thumb. If you don’t stop the spool as the lure hits the water, the spool will continue to rotate causing a backlash (a.k.a bird’s nest) (insert picture) - Line Out Alarm (select models) – The line out alarm switch engages an audible alarm to alert the angler that the line is moving from the spool.
