Product Description

The ABU GARCIA 8701 is a replacement pinion gear designed for use in ABU GARCIA 5000C and 5000CDL baitcasting reels. The pinion gear is a core drivetrain component that transfers power from the main drive gear to the spool shaft, controlling spool rotation during casting and retrieval. This part is typically installed by experienced reel technicians or anglers with mechanical repair skills during routine maintenance or drivetrain rebuild service.

This gear is suited for freshwater and light saltwater baitcasting applications where the 5000C and 5000CDL reel platforms are commonly used. It is a direct replacement component intended to restore proper drivetrain function when the original pinion gear shows signs of wear, stripping, or damage.
