I currently own 9 Ambassadeur reels, most of them vintage made in the 60’s and 70’s. It’s neat to think that maybe some of these people in this video made my reels on these machines. Maybe one of mine was in this film! Who knows!
When I was a kid my dream was to own an Abu 333 . Could never afford it . Now, many years later , I have a collection of Vintage Abu tackle but somehow I miss those days when I had to save pocket money for couple of weeks just to buy a Toby ..
Don't ever stop making your highest quality Ambassadeurs and Abumatics in Swiden. The quality does matter! It's great to be competitive, but it is also great to be the Omega or Rolex of the fishing industry... People use to aspire to buy high-end quality fishing tackle.....
I didn't understand a word of it but I understood the meaning completely: only a company who cares about their product would put out a film like this. Moreover, you don't see films like this one coming out of goddam China. The products from ABU are truly legacy reels. I have a mint '56 Ambassadeur that sits on a shelf unfished as a piece of industrial art. I'm merely it's custodian and it will outlive me both in form and function. When things I own earn that level of respect it's kind of like that big Brown trout you keep on catching and releasing.
I own a bunch of reels , including an Ambassadeur 5000. My go to favorite is a Zebco Cardinal 6 c. 1968 given to me brand new a number of years ago. I make sure I take good care of THAT one ! Great video.
Very nice, but how was it established that it was filmed in 1967? It appears that the filming on the contents at least started a couple of years earlier than that.

Ambassadeur är än idag tillverkade i Sverige och håller väldigt hög klass. De håller bättre än i princip allt annat. De går dessutom att trimma, vilket är en stor fördel.
@@arnarne Märkligt svar... Jag vill gärna kasta, känna och styra fisken med spöet i höger hand, eftersom jag är högerhänt. Att kasta med höger och sen byta hand känns mer långsökt än att kasta och börja veva. Kastar du således med vänster hand?
