Description

Power, reliability, and value. The Ambassadeur® SX round reel features a powerful multi-disk drag system that yields up to 12.5 pounds of drag pressure. A recessed reel foot keeps this round baitcast reel low on the rod, making it easy to palm and cast. The addition of a compact bent handle and drag star deliver an ergonomic feel for all day fishing without fatigue. Both the 5600 size and 6600 are available in left and right hand models.

Great reel It's overall an amazing reel works great I've had it for a year as a gift from my dad best reel I've ever had and the one bad thing about it is the casting distance it casts plenty far but if it was a little more smooth it would be better but I think it's perfect a little over priced but it's awesome

Great overall!!! Let me start by saying this reel is great by what it can handle for the price. I've caught tons of 40+ inch drums, 3-5 ft sharks, bass, etc., often on this reel with no struggles. Handles the fish great honestly if your looking for a good fight but not an overwhelming hour + one but my only issue after all this is a reoccurring problem with the clicker. I've had this reel for years as a gift from my dad but even within the first year owning it the clicker would just simply not make noise or occasionally would skip a turn as I'm reeling if the clicker is engaged.

This should not be called an ambassadeur Unlike the original ABU reels, this reel is made in china by an OEM. Unfortunately, a significant portion of load bearing gears are made of plastic. after 1 striper run, reel completely stripped the level wind gear, making and awful grinding noise and disengaging the spool briefly if quickly stopped. its a fine reel for bass and channel cat, but this simply cannot hold a candle to the c3 or c4. it's fine if you don't fish with heavy weights, but a season of 1 ounce swimbaits decimated the level wind gearing. unless you're throwing lighter lures, I wouldn't recommend it
