Product Description

This is a part for converting the microcast spool for the ABU Ambassadeur 1500C, 2500C, and 3500C series reels into a magnet brake system.
This product is a magnet brake designed specifically for Avail spools. It helps reduce backlash when casting lightweight lures.
The braking force can be adjusted by changing the number of magnets.

In addition, when using a PE line for stream trout fishing and other activities, the spool weight becomes lighter.
With the conventional magnet combination, the effect may be too strong.
Therefore, we have added the "MicrocastBrake AMB1520PE," which changes the size of the included magnet.
Please try different combinations of magnet sizes and numbers to find the best setting for your tackle and casting method.


Engraved with Avail logo and product name.

Instructions for use



This is the product contents.
It includes the brake unit (on the right side) and the spacer (on the left side).
There are four magnets included.



Remove the original centrifugal brake unit.



Attach the spacer to the place where you removed the original brake unit.
(The photo shows a black spacer, but the current one is white.)



Attach the magnet brake unit to the handle side of the main unit.
The installation position is the housing that receives the shaft bearing.
(You can see the bearing near the center, but push the black area around it.)



Push the brake unit all the way to the back.



It can also be attached to the frame side of the main unit.
When used on this side, it can be used in conjunction with the original centrifugal brake.



Arrange the magnets so that the north and south poles alternate, as shown in the photo.
There are eight magnet mounting holes on the brake unit, but arranging them continuously as shown in the photo will stabilize the magnetic field and also stabilize the brake force.

There are various patterns for arranging the magnets, so try to find the best one.

When removing the magnets, attach the wrench or iron included with the reel to the magnets and pull them out.
As it is a magnet with strong magnetic force, be careful not to approach it to items that are weak to magnetism such as watches, computers, and credit cards.

If there is backlash, increase the number of magnets. Conversely, if the brake is too strong, reduce the number of magnets or replace them with thinner magnets sold separately.
