Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 6500 Catfish Round Baitcast Reel Right Hand

OVERVIEW

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 6500 Catfish is a right-hand round baitcast reel designed for anglers targeting catfish and other hard-pulling freshwater gamefish.

Its 5.3:1 gear ratio retrieves 26 inches of line per turn, providing a practical balance of cranking power and retrieve speed. The Carbon Matrix™ drag system delivers up to 15 pounds of drag for smooth, consistent pressure during the fight.

A 6-pin centrifugal braking system helps manage spool speed during casting, while the synchronized level wind improves line lay and castability. The extended bent handle with power knobs provides additional leverage when retrieving heavy rigs or fighting large fish.
