Ambassadeur® 7000 C Round
Ambassadeur® 7000 C Round
- SKU: 1324533
- Model Number: C-7001
As big on performance as they are on durability, the Abu Garcia 7000 round reel features a synchronized level wind system that provides even line lay and a smooth retrieve. The updated extended bent handle with power knob gives anglers an edge by increasing torque and aligning the cranking hand closer to the reel for more efficient fighting power. The smooth and consistent multi-disc drag system delivers pressure throughout the entire drag setting. Each 7000 fishing reel is constructed with a corrosion-resistant instant anti-reverse bearing, Duragear™ brass main gear, and a four- pin centrifugal brake for controlled casts.

Ratings & Reviews
- Ddereeves2 years agoRated 2 out of 5 starsNot to great of a reel
I purchased this reel about 8-9 weeks after i purchased the same reel in the catfish special, same reels just different color schemes. This reel makes a slight ticking noise and screams like a banshee...the other does neither. I contacted Abu about this and they said to do a warranty return for a damaged reel. It isn't damaged, it is straight up defective. So today i took the reel a part and discovered the anti-reverse pawl or dog was placed on the wrong stand off and was riding under the cogs it is supposed to engage. So i took it out and put it on the correct stand off and it works as intended. I would have to ask how that got like that from a brand new reel direct from the manufacturer? In any case, not happy with Abu Garcia at this point. I have purchased quite a bit direct from Purefishing including reels and rods, and this C3-7000C and another Abu spin reel. No issues with any of the others, just this reel.
- WNWisker n.9 years agoRated 5 out of 5 starsDurable, smooth, and great drag system
I have used a lot of different reels in my life but when I bought this one I was impressed. I do a lot of tournament catfishing and I have put my reels through some abuse to say the least. The most impressive feature is the drag system. I have landed some big fish and this reel works just as good as it did day one.
- SSLICK10 years agoRated 5 out of 5 starsexcellent casting, precision drag settings,5stars
My family has used ABU GARCIA for generations & they're pride in excellence shines in every reel especially this one. Catching fish From huge flathead catfish 45-120+lbs.to tackling bulk reds, sow speckled trout, to monster flounder this reel gets it done with ease.I never buy a reel unless it says ABU on it! Try it once, you'll be hooked for a lifetime! Happy Fishing-JOE CARTER.

- RRedarcher4 years agoRated 1 out of 5 starsPoor quality materials & manufacture
I bought this item two years ago, so I think I have given it long enough to give a good opinion.
The material that the side plates are made of seems less resistant to corrosion than it's predecessors despite cleaning and coating with silicon grease. I have noted that it was made in china, so made cheaply, obviously a management decision to improve profit margins but not to consider the end user. I have had to change out the original bearings already, replace the plastic spool release cam, and try to make it feel much like my older 7000 models, that run so smoothly.
I suppose since the conglomerate takeover by 'Purefishing' what else could we expect. The man in the street suffers again for corporate greed.
I am very disappointed with this reel and won't be buying any chinese made reels again.
