The ABU Ambassadeur 6500 has for many years been a highly rated reel amongst beach anglers and tournament casters alike.  The 6500 C3 CT Mag has pretty much the same spec as the gun metal grey Elite which was the model to follow the superb Green Mag Elite and is packed full of the usual top of the range features from ABU that make the 6500 series so popular with anglers across the world. This new version of the world famous Mag Elite sports a high 5.3:1 Retrieve ratio, 3 stainless steel ball bearings, a 6-pin centrifugal brake system, brass side plates 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.   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.
