Just stick to the swedish round reels and you shouldn't have any problems for a long time. Took apart and it is made with very cheap parts.

In my opinion spend the extra money for a better reel.Ĭomments: Garbage. It didn't handle reeling in the baits, for it was a struggle to bring the bait in.

Drag is very poor, even with a mono-backing the drag was still poor. I bought this real for throwing small bucktails for musky and pike. The Ambassadeur C3 and all other Swedish reels are excellent, though.Ĭomments: This reel sucks the drag is horrible really sticky broke off lots of big fish because the drag is to tight or to lose no in between.Ĭomments: Abu states that this reel is made for handling big fish and big fish. Those things are cheaper and better than this product. If money is a factor, you would honestly be better purchasing an older Ambassadeur 5000 (the red reel) from the 1970's and putting a better hand on it. That being said, this real is quite cheap. I use it for anything from steelhead, salmon, and hopefully some ling cod and rock bass this next spring and summer.Ĭomments: I love the Ambassadeur series, and basically everything Abu Garcia makes.

It is more of my plunking reel (Bottom Bouncing) I have used it for drift fishing but it has a slow gear ratio so it's not very good for that.
