Poor 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.

Can'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. Carlos

Disappointed 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.
