Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 5501 Left-Hand Round Baitcast Reel

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 5501 Left-Hand Round Baitcast Reel brings the classic Ambassadeur C3 platform to anglers who prefer a dedicated left-hand retrieve. Its 5.3:1 gear ratio retrieves 26 inches of line per turn, while the Carbon Matrix™ drag system provides up to 15 lb of maximum drag.

Three stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing support smooth operation, while a 6-pin centrifugal brake helps manage spool speed during casting. The synchronized level wind promotes even line lay, and the compact bent handle and star drag keep the controls close at hand.
