Combining smooth drag with a durable, finely crafted design, the Abu Garcia C3-5500 Ambassadeur Baitcast Fishing Reel is an ideal choice for devoted anglers. This fishing reel's Carbon Matrix drag system offers smooth and consistent drag across the entire drag range, giving you the precision and power you need to subdue the most tenacious gamefish. It is also engineered for precise casting and line lay. The reel's six-pin centrifugal brake applies consistent pressure throughout the cast for superior control, while its synchronized level wind system ensures an even line lay and an effortless retrieve. And thanks to its extended bent cranking handle and power knob, this baitcasting reel offers the powerful, even reeling action and leverage that hard-fighting fish demand. Brute strength meets refined style. The heritage continues with the new C3, designed to meet the demands of the most hardcore angler.

    • Excellent reel. Timeless quality.
Style: C3-5500- 240yd/12lbs
My first Abu Garcia reel is about 30 years old. I was delighted to find out that they have not changed the design one bit. This new reel is every bit as smooth as my first one. They both will probably outlast me.

    • Made in Sweden=Reliable.
Style: C3-6500- 320yd/12lbs
The various round Ambassadeurs I have from the 50's to now. They are all working. Because parts are available to repair a broken reel. This reel is just the newest example of the 6500C3. It's a very smooth reel. It uses the new six pin brake. Don't know if that's better than the old two brake system but it's much easier to adjust braking. To me gearing seems to be quieter too. These are still the made in Sweden models and seem just as good as the older ones..They can easily be serviced. You can upgrade the bearings to six on these by installing some available parts. You can easily upgrade the bearings ABEC rating as well. Just good reels that have been around a very long time. Pure Fishing has bought up most of the iconic brands in fishing and moved a lot of production to China. Get one while they are still Swedes. The Chinese S models are different reels all together. Being round the only similarity to the Swedish reels. Parts don’t inter-change. ... show more
