goldenone7710 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Bout time to buy another bait casting reel. I already have an Ambassadeur 6000C that I like pretty good. It's still very smooth and I can cast it, seems like a 1/2 mile. What's the difference between the 6000C like I have and the 6500C3? Both are the round housing reels. I like the 6000 and up styles because of the line alarm (bait clicker) feature. Quote

Super User Micro Posted December 17, 2007 Super User Posted December 17, 2007 If you ever get a hankerin' to try a different Abu round reel, I give a huge thumbs up to the Ambassadeur EXT reels, particularly the EXT Pro. This is their most recent incarnation of the Morrum reel. This reel is awesome. It's extremely smooth, built exceedingly well, and will actually outcast my Revos with light lures. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted December 17, 2007 Super User Posted December 17, 2007 The 6000 has bushing's the c3 has bearings .wait till you cast a c4 or c3 Quote
Pencil Pusher Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 The 6500 has a slightly higher retrieve ratio than the 6000. Quote
goldenone7710 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 Well, (the wife) ordered a Ambassadeur 6500C3 today. I've heard the spool is smooth as silk. I can't try it out. Got me a BPS Bionic Blade XPS 7' MH rod coming for it too. I believe I'll be very satisfied. Gotta wait till Christmas but, I'll keep you posted. Quote

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted December 18, 2007 Super User Posted December 18, 2007 You'll be very happy with the 6500 C3. They made some improvements on the C3 and C4 reels last year and made a great reel even better. Have fun, Falcon Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I love the Revo's, I think that was an awesome step for Abu Quote
