abu garcia ambassadeur baitcast reel C3 6501 Reel, Left Handed while the compact bent handle and drag star give you an more ergonomic feel for extra comfort Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500-S Baitcast

A 90 mm aluminum handle with co-molded soft-touch knobs provides a secure grip during retrieves and hooksets

The reel comes straight out of the box with the spool tension knob set, but if you really like to dial in your reel and tinker with the knob, its in a tight spot near the star drag

We fished Abu Garcia Beast spinning and casting gear over the last two months, mostly in Floridas fresh waters

Firing off a cast and dropping the lure dead center on the target, then thumbing the spool to set the hook and winching in a fish, is what fishing is all about

I wouldn't have discovered this reel if it hadn't been for Simon Shimomura's dedication to the Ambassadeur and his books which are so inspiring
