Up for sale is a highly collectible Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 1500C in the incredibly rare and sought-after Burgundy finish. This is a "One Owner" item, carefully kept and used by a single angler.
The 1500C is legendary among trout and light-game finesse anglers for its classic aesthetics and Made-in-Sweden reliability. This unit features the high-speed 5.3:1 gear ratio.
