  • Casting reel
Style: 6500 Catfish (New Model) Pattern Name: Round Reel
Of coarse this reel is fantastic, it's an Abu Garcia. I've used it many times, at the coast, and I've brought in many bull reds with this reel. And it cast far, very far with ease!

  • When I found out the C3 came in a "Catfish Special" I was even more happy about my purchase
I spent a considerable amount of time researching a new baitcaster for catfishing. I finally settled on purchasing an Abu Garcia 6500 C3. When I found out the C3 came in a "Catfish Special" I was even more happy about my purchase. Intial Thoughts: When the reel arrived, I was very pleased with the fit and finish. Although I am much more concerned about function than cosmetics, I find that this reel is truly beautiful. The C3s are all made in Sweden, and you can instantly feel the quality and craftsmanship of this reel. Use: I loaded it with 30 pound mono, and mounted it on a whisker seeker rod, and took it to the back yard to practice casting. I have used baitcasters in the past and gave up in frustration because I couldn't cast them consistently and without overruns. However, within a few minutes I was casting this reel with ease. This is by far the most user friendly baitcaster I've ever used. I left all 6 brakes engaged and dialed in the reel to my weight using the adjustment on the side, and I had no issues with casting long distances accuratley with only a few very small over runs. I've taken it fishing about a dozen times so far, and I still love this reel. So far I've only caught smaller catfish of 10 lbs or less, but the reel handled them with ease. I also took it to the beach with me and caught a 4 foot shark and the reel handled the shark very well. Features: This reel has everything I desired in a catfish reel. Plenty of capacity for heavy line, a baitclicker, power handle, and a level wind. The 6 centrifugal breaks allow both the experienced baitcast user and the novice to set the reel up to match their experience, skill, and bait/lure weight. It has everything I would ever want. The reel is strong enough to handle anything I might encounter, while still being compact and light enough to handle easily without fatigue. Notes: One question I had was how the Catfish version differs from the regular c3. From personal use and research, I believe the only difference is the Catfish C3 has the power handle (normally a separately purchased upgrade) instead of the normal dual handle of the normal c3, and the addition of the graphics and orange color. ... show more

  • Clean first
Style: 7000 Catfish (New Model) Pattern Name: Round Reel
Really great reel. My only suggestion is to take it apart and clean all the grease off everything and just use reel oil. It will cast like a dream

  • Great Reel
Style: 6500 Catfish (New Model) Pattern Name: Round Reel
One of my current favorite reels i own, the baitclicker system is handy for the picky eaters and i am able to cast it around 125 yards with ease, along with the long casting it has a smooth recovery and fits like a glove on my Catfish/Carp rod and plan to switch between Muskie and Pike aswell.

  • Works great
Style: 7000 Catfish (New Model) Pattern Name: Round Reel
I’ve only used this only one weekend so far I spent my Memorial Day weekend in port Arthur tx and fished for three days. I felt like it casted smoothly I was using 40lb braid with a 3 oz egg weight on a Ugly Stik Catfish Special 8 ft MH Rod. Butt I was not lucky enough to hook on to anything but a 12” inch hard head catfish so I don’t know how good the reel works under a load of a bull red or black drum. Oh and in case you are wondering the colors on the rod match that ones on the reel. It looks nice with the orange braid! ... show more

  • Second to none whisker fish
Style: 6500 Catfish (New Model) Pattern Name: Round Reel
Love everything about this reel, has plenty of power and drag to handle big cats and stripers. Bait clicker is great for night fishing if you don't want to invest in a glowing rod, very easy to service, and looks great. Can't beat an Abu.
