      Comments about Abu Garcia® Ambassadeur® Baitcasting Reel, 6501C3:

      Bought the reel for some jerkbait fishin and was very happy to see how well it performed. The gear ratio is perfect for those just right retreives and it casts out long with little effort. Hooked it up with a St.Croix Mojo Musky and some 50lb Power Pro Super 8. A really nice setup.

        I will be using this reel for muskey fishing in a week. The only complaint that I have is that I ordered a "left hand" retrieve and received a right hand reel. I had yo take it to Gander Mtg. to exchange it.
