A beautiful Bait finesse reel built entirely from parts! Ambassadeur 2500CDL (custom)

This beautiful bait finesse tuned Ambassadeur 2500CDL (custom) was built entirely from parts. All aftermarket parts are made by Avail and the side plates were made to CDL specs (24K gold plated fittings) by Simon Shimomura.

Simon creates the highest quality restorations. I have one his his Plated 1500C frames.

Nice…! 🎉
I was lucky in finding brand new vintage ABU reels online …

[@Baitfinessefishing]

Awesome

Can any of the new abu round reels be converted to BFS?

[@Baitfinessefishing]

I don’t think so, if you look on hedgehog studios it shows different Ambassadeurs and the parts available for them

@@Baitfinessefishing yea that's what I was thinking, reverse engineering the situation :p
