Let the tuning begin...

How small is your rod and how light is your line? It's not about the size of your tackle, but how you work it. Come share your Ultralight and Bait Finesse System (BFS) fishing success here!

Let the tuning begin...

Post by Craigthor » Tue Apr 09, 2019 4:59 pm

Got my hands on an Abu Ambassadeur Morrum and it feels like a great match to my Smith BST43UL/C3 trout rod. Needs some tuning still with some BFS bearings, going to test some Boca A7 OS to start with while Akira over at HH works on getting a set of AirBFS bearings for me. Also thinking of swapping the handle to either the Avail LT Swept 85 or 90mm Handle. Not a huge fan of how close the Carbon Offset is to the reel. May also grab the the lower thumb bar they offer also.

Does it have a BFS spool in it?

It does now along with HH AirBFS bearings, lower HH Thumb Bar, New Avail Swept Handle, New Knobs. I was able to find the Avail ZXMG1628R spool for it. Also have the 4mm deep 1648R spool also but I prefer the 2mm version.

Really good looking reel, I have distanced from Abu a bit, but would love to have one of these.

Fished it a few days and was amazing, ended up moving it on as the rod it was meant for didn’t balance how I like.
