When fishing I can’t tell the difference in retrieve rates. The 7000 has a retrieve rate of 4.1:1, while the 7500 C3 has a slightly faster retrieve rate of 5.3:1. Also if a big salmon takes at long range with the Abu 7000 you still have 200 meters of “insurance” left on your spool. When you are casting a hundred meters of line you don’t want the spool diameter to drop markedly or your casting distance will suffer. This makes the 7000 reel, at 519 grammes, a bit large for river fishing, but perfect for fishing the surf where the extra line capacity can be put to good use. Line capacity for both reels is 300m of 10kg monofilament. Indeed most parts are interchangeable between the two models. However, many anglers replace the brass bushes with ball bearings from 7500. They differ in that the 7000 has brass bushes, where the 7500 has ball bearings. These two very popular reels are essentially the same. Current New Zealand dollar retail price is about $250 for the 7000 and about $399 for the 7500 C3. Salmon anglers who prefer to fish the surf, in particular, will be aware of the excellent long-distance casting qualities of the Abu 7000 and it’s more expensive brother the 7500 C3. Many salmon anglers will be familiar with the Abu Garcia range of free spool casting reels. You just won’t go wrong with this reel in your tackle bag. The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000, like the Abu 7500C, has long been a popular choice with salmon anglers looking for long-distance casts at the mouths of the Hurunui, Waimakariri, Rakaia, Rangitata, and Waitaki Rivers. The design is simple with little that can go wrong and they are easy to service. The pawl from 7000 is the same as the one in 6500. Perhaps most importantly for salmon anglers, they last a very long time if well looked after.
They are made in Sweden of fine materials and to a very high standard. Like all Abu reels, the 7000 is a robust, long-lasting, precision fishing tool. This reel has been New Zealand’s biggest-selling salmon surf reel for many years. If you walk along the “picket fence” at the mouth of the Rakaia or Rangitata rivers during a good run of salmon you are sure to see more red Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 7000s than any other reel.
