Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 5500LC Line Counter Round Reel

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 5500LC Line Counter Round Reel is a right-hand 5500-size reel built for trolling and downrigging applications where repeatable line placement matters. Its mechanical line counter measures line in feet as line is deployed, helping anglers reproduce setback and presentation distances.

The C3 5500LC combines a 5.3:1 gear ratio and 26 inches of line pickup per turn with a Carbon Matrix™ drag system rated to 15 lb. Three stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing, a 6-pin centrifugal braking system, synchronized level wind, line-out alarm and compact bent handle complete the platform.
