Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 Catfish Pro Round Reel Right Hand

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 Catfish Pro is a right-hand round reel built for anglers targeting hard-pulling catfish and other large freshwater gamefish.

Its 5.3:1 gear ratio retrieves 25.6 inches of line per turn, giving you a practical balance of cranking power and retrieve speed. The Carbon Matrix™ drag system provides up to 15 pounds of drag for smooth, consistent pressure during the fight.

A 6-pin centrifugal braking system helps control spool speed during casting, while the synchronized level wind improves line lay and castability. With 5 stainless steel ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing, the Catfish Pro is designed for smooth, dependable operation in demanding bait-fishing applications.
