I like the reels and find them to be of good quality. Smooth operation and drag. Also, casts like a rocket as the name implies. They are also very attractive especially, spooled with tangerine suffix and mounted on whisker seeker catfish bumping rods. I only have one complaint, which is why I only gave them 4 stars, and that is the max drag is not as the box box states. Max drag is only about 5 pounds and that is with the star tightened all the way down so, that is probably pushing it. Other than that these are fine reels for the task at hand.

I like the old style thumb screws but that’s not a big deal. I haven’t fished it yet, when I threw a 2oz weight it cast beautifully no backlash on a 60 yard cast with no thumb application at all the break system works great!

Always an Abu Garcia fan, Especially the Ambassadeur 6X00 series. I always modified the C3's, and felt they could have a little extra. This one comes with the extra that they need. Amazing casting, and control.

Have used it for catfishing, casts really smooth . Great retrieve , I figure this will be my favorite reel. Made offer and got a fantastic bargain.

It works good for me. I paired it with a 9 1/2 foot whisher seeker rod and it will fling a 1 oz weight about 80 yds out in the bay.....and I wasn't putting anything in to it ! I was planning on installing a mono mag control on it but I don't think it will be necessary because the centrifugal breaks control the spool very well....no backlash or overruns yet .
