thanks alot like you said every place online sells it but theres no place telling you how to change the brakes

I thought I bought a lemon until I seem your brake change video thank you so much the reviews almost turned me away from this reel for it being faulty and breaking then I read through the comments and your reel is going 3yrs strong heck yea I want mine to make it thanks for sharing

Man thank you so much lol if you can do any more videos of how to really mess with the spool tension with heavy baits that would be 🔥 regardless you broke it down nicely

Hell yes .. I was so happy to see this...I have many Abu Garcia reels and I thought I was getting hosed with this model!

Verbatim from Abu, “Any combination of brake blocks can be engaged or disengaged. To engage (turn on), slide the preferred number of brake blocks away from the center of the spool. Each block will click into position. Once activated, the brake blocks will be able to freely move up and down the pins, thereby applying brake pressure.”

I got the same reel but a right hand and so tar it's been a good reel

Thank you i didint find the brake first. The video helpt

This is a very nice rod I bought the 6.5 ft medium heavy for bass fishing. It is very strong, lightweight and comfortable in hand. Caught 6 nice Small Mouth with it first trip out last week.

Thanks for the Video really helps.

Thank you!!!

I never did well in school. Did i want those locked in or unlocked for maximum casting?

Hello! Tell me what are the dimensions of the spool bearings on this reel. Thanks!

Thanks for that video. I haven't figure out how to adjust my Abu Garcia Ambassador. My model # is 4600C3. I opened it but there are no pins like yours. I'm beginning to think it has no brakes.

My god thank you

Good video. What i didn't get is having more tabs in decrease the braking power or increase it? Mine doesn't cast far either. Having 2 tabs out like yours should then cast farther?

Thanks man. How has this reel been to you?

Man… not one of my tios (spanish for uncles) knew about these brakes… they just told me i had to figure out how to thumb it properly 🤦🏽‍♂️… cracked mine open and i just went ahead and put all the brakes on… it only has 4… lets see how it does friday!

From the factory they come with all six blocks engaged. Unless you don't have any thumbs, two blocks are all you need.

Mine are REAL Abu REELS. Made in Sweden. 😊 Man, that thing doesn't have any metal. I'll bet it floats. LOL

does that mean its a fake copy Abu reel if its made in China?
