The Abu Garcia Ambassador 4601C DDL IAR (Katsutaka Imae Pro Model) is a legendary left-hand retrieve model released in the late 1990s to early 2000s, based on the Dual Deal Concept (right for winding, left for casting) advocated by Imae Pro. The main specifications and features are as follows: Basic Specifications: Weight: Approx. 280g-300g Gear Ratio: 5.3:1 Bearings: Ball bearings built-in (anti-reverse backlash eliminated by IAR specification) Line Capacity: Approx. 100m with 12lb nylon Brakes: Centrifugal brake system Handle: Left-hand retrieve dedicated model Model Features: DDL (Dual Deal Left): The most distinctive feature is the K.Imae dual deal left engraving on the palming cup. Tuned by Imae Pro: Developed to efficiently perform casting fishing (Texas rigs and rubber jigs) in the tournament scene of the time. Design: Features a spartan design with holes in the handle bar for weight reduction. Historical Value: This is the first model to bear the name of a Japanese pro on a Swedish-made Ambassador and is also exhibited in the ABU Museum.
