Default Abu 5001b

I just picked one of these up for $45 bucks in green. Looks like new. Does anybody have one of these and if so what do you think and what do I need to know? Good, bad, or indiff. Thanks Jon

Very bad. Design is all screwy. The handle is on the wrong side.p

I've got the non-screwed up handle version of that. They don't have any bearings and they are the bottom of the bunch as far as goodies on an ambassadeur but they work just fine for me. I use mine for bass and steelhead depending on what rod I put it on.
