The ABU Ambassadeur 6500 has for many years been a highly rated reel amongst beach anglers and tournament casters alike.  The 6500 CT Chrome Rocket looks absolutely stunning and continues the ABU tradition of combining good looks and top performance.  The Chrome Rocket is a reel for the true purist and doesnt have the mag brakes of the Elites; instead it relies on the more traditional centrifugal brakes, which make this a very fast reel indeed, capable of some very long casts in the right hands. With its large power handle and high 5.3:1 retrieve ratio it is a superb reel for clean beach work and a favourite amongst many tournament casters, many of whom like to fit a mag brake conversion of their choice.  For those anglers that prefer to target big fish such as Rays or large Bass the reel has 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.
