We were out fishing at the mangrove-lined river of Sg Mamam, and as usual, we’d go as far upstream as we can in the inflatable and start drifting downstream, casting at likely structure we drift to. On this trip, my friend produced this beautiful Ambassadeur 2500C but it sounded more like a pepper grinder than a reel and proceeded to cast without much success unless the lure was a heavy one.
My friend has a simple regimen for all his reels:
1) Take them out to fish.
2) Bring back to boat and hang up on the overhead rod racks.
3) Ensure that cabin and windows are locked and blinds are closed.
4) Leave the boat till next trip.
After the trip, I brought the reel home to find out what ails it and I took some pics along the way and this is what I did...
