My Next Project

[Vidar6]

Take a look at what’s going to the basis for my next project

I have long fancied a small more classic looking Ambassadeur than the Morrum, but with real high-end performance. Now’s the time come to realize my dream

 

Now, this is nothing for the fainthearted and requires skills in reel tuning far beyond what I possess so I will be sending the reel to UT (Ulf Tingstrom), a Swedish reel magician that builds and tunes classic Ambassadeur's to a higher standard than probably anyone else in the world.

 

This is going to be something extra, extra special and I’m sooooo excited

Would like to share your excitment Vidar, but in what? Are you going to fish with it?

Yes, of course

 

A huge number of people around the world are fans of the classic style 1500 & 2500 and use them either as standard or tuned to various levels.

 

A tuned 2500 reel with a lightweight Avail spool mounted, was used when setting the British long casting record in the 5/8oz class with a length in excess of 125 yards.

 

It's simply exciting to own something that is engineered to almost perfection.

 

I tell you one thing for sure, it's a hell of a lot more fun to collect rare or high-end fishing tackle than stamps

Now that looks like fun.

 

What weight lures and what sort of rod?

 

It should be a perch lure anglers dream.

I intend to use it for crankbaits & jerkbaits in the 3/8 to 5/8oz range and the reel will be paired with a Megabass F4-68X Jabberwock rod.

A unique reel deserves a unique rod

I agree a Jabberwock rod deseves the best

Interesting site. Not one I was familiar with but they do have some nice looking gear. I'm guessing the prices are a little out of my range though.

Vidar

A serious question for once if I may, I am intrigued, do you enter into beach casting tournaments? And if so how successful are you? Are you English?
