Bulletproof Performance,
My Abu-Garcia 6500-C3 has been going strong for over 15 years now without any problems. It’s just as strong and smooth as the day I bought it.
The reel is built with quality, durability, and ruggedness in mind. Handling it lets you know that you’re holding a reel that won’t let you down. I’ve winched in some huge channel cats on this reel without any problems. It handles everything from light monofilament to heavy braids with equal ease. Casting is smooth and trouble free so long as you do your part, and retrieval is just as smooth.
The only area of improvement that the reel could use is to upgrade the drag discs. Though the drag is fairly smooth, it could use some extra smoothing out and more hold when cranked all the way down. This is not a big deal as upgraded drag discs are readily available, and it’s best to change out the drag washers every year or two anyways.

|expected better for the price,
this reel had some problems mainly casting distance & line retrieve speed.frankly I expected better for the price,nevertheless i did land a 40 lb black drum using it.after using it 3 times the handle that secures it to the rod broke off. I decided to send it to Abu Garcia to fix. I still think it’s worth it but it may be wise to invest in a better reel if you can afford the price tag

|Great Reel!,
This Reel is what you would expect from a Swedish Made product. Easy to use, already caught 2 Sockeye Salmon on the Fraser River with it.
