Fellow looking for a bait clicker Round Ambassadeur reel in the want adds reminded me how much I like the old classic Ambassadeurs. both the ribbed and smooth rimmed two knob styles. I do not have a early Record marked one but I believe one is transition reel made about 1957. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/JVSW1gL.jpg)

The maroon and red ones he bass fished in Cuba with and have the same salt and pepper line on them. The 3rd was a later model black one. I also have his old Shakespeare President reel and one of his steel rods with a cork handle.

I knew there had to be a few people on here that had them. Fishing gear when I was a kid in the 1970s was actually a lot more expensive than it is now. A plain Red 5000 was between 20-30$ The hot new 5500C was over 50 bucks.

Awesome collection. I might have an old Record marked one or two somewhere, if you are looking for one. Pls PM me, if yes.
Thanks

Coolio. (is that slang?)
Nice assortment.
I think I've just got one, a 5000 (?) silver like the ones on the top shelf right.
Have caught a lot of fish on that one in the past. Given to me by a long time friend a long time ago.
