Hope everyone's been well! A friend passed us a box of old reels from a retiring angler (yea, I know, those two words don't belong together)

Good news, in that box, there were some treasures, one of them is this Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5500 C3 2 Speed Baitcaster!
Bad news, it looked pretty wrecked.

I recorded my process of maintaining the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5500 C3 2 Speed Baitcaster:

00:00 Introduction
00:33 Tools and Material
00:51 Disassembling the 5500 reel
01:18 Maintaining the Spool, and finding out that it's been glued in 😕
04:58 Maintaining the Reel Body
08:45 Reassembling the reel body
12:36 Maintaining the Drag and Handle
16:40 Condition of the reel (Always maintain yours!!)
18:00 Reassembling the drag and handle
24:48 Testing the Drag

Feel free to drop me questions or let me know what you think in the comments!
