What type of line should I use?

The Abu Ambassadeur 7000 series reels are compatible with monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing lines. Choose the line type and strength appropriate for the target species and fishing conditions.

How do I adjust the drag?

The drag is adjusted using the drag star located on the side of the reel. Turn the drag star to increase or decrease the drag pressure, depending on the fishing situation and the species you are targeting.

How often should I lubricate the reel?

Lubricate the reel after every few uses or when you notice it's becoming harder to crank. More frequent lubrication may be needed if used in saltwater.
