Great real for any big fish, lakes or rivers. The control and power are the best for this price range hands down.
- FFalcon754 years agoRated 1 out of 5 starsDisappointed for my first cast reel
6500s. Got this for xmas. Used it once and was wow. And the second time out I cast out and when I went to reel In it spin and won't reel back. First casting reel alway's used spinning reel and no fish had a chance but I was sad when I couldn't reel in my lure with my line. had to reel it by hand. Now how do i warranty this reel or exchange it but notice this reel have this problem. Do all casting reel have this problem. Or I get a defected reel? How will I go about this because I sold all my spinning reel to play with casting reel. Went from ocean fishing to river pond and creek fishing and all the pro say use these reel and I like the feel. didnt have the spool line bind up like most rookies mono 10lbs spider line 8-12lbs pole just don't know what to make of this.
- FFountainfishes9 years agoRated 4 out of 5 starsCan't beat it for the price
I fish just about every day, 1 hour a day minimum. I put a beating on my equipment, my left handed 5500 has still works like a champ with over a year of heavy use, if you can always try to get the made in Sweden products, but I got the made in China one. After a month or two of use, one of the bearings in the reel started to make noise, but still operational.

- ACAaron C.Verified Reviewer11 months agoRated 1 out of 5 starsPoor quality
I purchased (2) 6500S and (1) 6600SX reels from Amazon. After setting them up for fishing and going on my 4 day trip I found that all 3 reels didn't work properly after the second day. I caught a 4 pound bass and it wouldn't reel the fish in so I tighten the drag all the way. It still wouldn't work properly so I brought the fish in by hand. This happened on all three reels so I called Abu Garcia's customer support and left a message but no one called me back. I then called Amazon and was able to return them for a full refund. Poor quality and very poor customer service. Not recommended by me.
- DDGonza2 years agoRated 2 out of 5 starsAmbassadeur S6500 - Defective?
I purchased this reel Feb 10, 2023 and used it once. The reel worked well for a few days but now when I cast the weight/hook the reel won't retrieve the line. I have to jiggle and play with the handle arm to make it catch and return or reel in the line. I've always had great luck with Abu-Garcia Ambassedeur reels but something is wrong with this one.
