Thanks to Mikael Riseberg ( www.abu-record.com ) My friend Espen Olav Sjaastad from Norway, Notes the following in regard to the Black Record 5000 Some of these black record 5000 reels were among the very first Ambassadeurs ever produced, so I'll try to piece together some of the story

The Aboriginal Fishery The economy of the coastal Indians -- the Tlingits and Haidas -- was built on the pacific salmon

Keep the tip of your rod down and drag the lure slowly along rocks or other habitats to give the bass plenty of time to bite

Because a custom fishing rod is built one at a time, quality control is ensured and certain to meet the unique criteria set forth by the angler

They are sluggish but ready to feed

Light, sensitive, and performs flawlessly
