| Product Description

This ultra-lightweight palming plate is made of extra super duralumin and is compatible with the Ambassadeur 2500C, as well as 1500C and 3500C models.
Replacing the genuine part allows for weight reduction of the reel.
Further weight reduction is possible when combined with the separately sold brake plate. When installing the bearing into the brake plate ring, the anodized coating may peel off.
The peeled coating may accumulate in the bearing and affect rotation performance, so if you are using open-type bearings, please perform regular maintenance.
