Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 Striper 6500 Round Reel

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 Striper 6500 Round Reel is a right-hand round baitcast reel configured for striped bass and other hard-pulling gamefish. Its Carbon Matrix™ drag system, synchronized level wind and extended bent handle with power knobs combine classic Ambassadeur line capacity with added leverage for heavier baits, rigs and strong fish.

The C3-6500STPSPC uses a 5.3:1 gear ratio with 26 inches of line pickup per turn and up to 15 lb of maximum drag. Four stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing support smooth operation, while a 6-pin centrifugal braking system helps control spool speed throughout the cast.
