The ABU Ambassadeur 6500 has for many years been a highly rated reel amongst beach anglers and tournament casters alike.  The new 6500 C3 CT Mag Hi-Speed looks set to become another classic, continuing the ABU tradition of combining good looks and top performance with its top of the range features and red and chrome livery. This new version of the world famous Mag Elite sports a high 6.3:1 Retrieve ratio, 3 stainless steel ball bearings, a 6-pin centrifugal brake system, crowned Durabrass gears and the new Carbon Matrix Drag.  It is a superb reel for clean beach work and the now well-proven ABU magtrax brakes, which are easily adjusted in seconds using the slider, ensure that maximum distance can be achieved without the worry of overruns.  For those anglers that prefer to target big fish such as Rays or large Bass ABU have also, for the first time in the Mag Elite range, incorporated a click ratchet, which is useful for allowing fish to run with the bait. With care it will also double up as a light boat fishing reel in shallow water as it is more than capable of handling many of the species you are likely to come across.
