Customer Reviews: Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Line Counter Baitcast Reel

https://amzn.to/44qGNMA - Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Line Counter Baitcast Reel

very nice and well built reel but power handle was bent looks like factory defect but will keep reel and order a replacement handle
One of the better line counters out there IMHO (6500LC) 1: there is no play in the reeling, very solid and smooth 2: solid construction. All pieces seem well machined and solidly build and assembled.
No flex in the reel whatsoever 3: all buttons and levers have very confident action, solid 4: lightweight compared to some of the other round reels that ABU Garcia makes.
only downside I see is if you want to cast with it. It does not freewheel well at all even with the cast control completely out, but thats not this reels prime objective so I wont subtract for that.
I love the C3 Abu Garcia reels. I now have 10 of them and they have caught everything from kokanee to sturgeon. Great drags and easy to work on. Just remember the C3s are not the same as the S models.
The C3s are made in Sweden and the S models are made in China. This is a great little linecounter that will make a great trout reel but spooled up with braid it would work great trolling for salmon too.
Honestly if I were going to do that I would go with the 6500 though.
I need a reel that allows repeatable line release and is not too heavy as I wish to hold it while trolling. This reel is small enough with an excellent drag.
Keep in mind that this reel will holds over 200 yards of 10-20 lb superbraid which is more than enough line for any trolling on freshwater lakes. I have filled this reel with 20lb Suffix 832 and it holds over 300 yards!
The line counter reset seems a bit sticky so I gave it four stars
These reels are trouble free and work great. Excellent for trolling
Its an Abu, whats not to love about it.
