![]() ![]() I'd like to state here that taking apart newer model reels is slightly difficult and frustrating the first time you take them apart. I then began taking the the side plates off of the frames and disassembling the right side plate. Essentially the bearings sit on each side of the spool as shown below. These bushings/bearings hold the spool off of the side plates and aid in easing the friction of the spool spinning. Once again I noticed that the 7000ics and 7000ic3 had similar bearings, while the 7000i had a bushing. I then took the right side tension knob off and removed the bearings and bushings of each reel. I found that other than the clicker mechanism the rest of the parts were similar. I then took the side plate off and began looking for differences. The 7000ics and 7000ic3 had bearings located within the tension knob, and the 7000i had a bushing. I began by removing the left side plate tension knob and removing the bearing/bushings located inside the tension knob. Since I have all three models I decided to take a look for myself.Ībove is a picture of a 7000ics, 7000ic3, and a 7000i from left to right. I have heard that the 7000ics (Pro Rocket) has more bearings than the 7000ici, that the bearings are sealed in the 7000ics, the 7000icics have bearings and the 7000i has bushings, that the 7000ics has a better drag system than the 7000ic3, etc. A year ago I purchased a few used Abu Garcia 7000's, including a 7000i, a 7000ic3, and a 7000ics. You can see that by the price the 7000i is cheapest, 7000ic3 is the mid range model, and the 7000ics is the most expensive and supposedly of the highest quality. I have done a little research and I know what random people on forums, blogs, and other websites say about the differences between each model. Corrosion resistant instant anti-reverse bearing provides greater protection Smooth and consistent multi disc drag system Duragear™ brass gear for extended gear life 6 pin centrifugal brake gives consistent brake pressure throughout the cast Extended bent handle with power knobs for increased cranking power.I have often wondered what the differences between my Abu Garcia 7000 models were. The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C7000 is available in Left or Right-hand wind and is primarily red in colour. ![]() ![]() The Duragear is made from brass to give a longer gear life and the multi-disc drag system allows for smooth and consistent pressure throughout the drag settings. There are 2 bearings, one of which is the corrosion resistant, anti-reverse bearing that will give extra durability and greater protection against wear. ![]() This reel has a power knob featured on the handle that helps improve torque and allows you to align your cranking hand closer to the multiplier reel for a better fighting power. The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C7000 is a high performing, high durability baitcasting reel that provides smooth casts, smooth retrieve and improved line lay. ![]()
