Best muskie, catfish, and surf reel in the world, in my opnion, talk to Merwin, there was a post he wrote in his blog a few weeks ago about them, there was also a post in the mag about them too.

thanks I need a really versatile reel.

Hell, they will work for anything, I don't fish salt much, but they work for anything, you just have to get the right size (6500 is perfect for stripers) and gear ratio, just depends on how much you're willing to spend, and what you want for line capacity.

I have a abu garcia ambasador c3,i bought 15 years ago,for stripper fishing (fresh water) in georgia,awsome reel!I have since moved back to vermont.where I mainly fish for trout/salmon.this spring i caught a 15-18 lb laker.also acouple of years ago i caught a 13 lb landlocked salmon! many large trout over the years. I HAVE REALLY PUT THIS C3 TO THE TEST..It has perfomed almost flawlessly.I recently found a new C3 at the hardware store for 39 dallars,needless to say i snatched it up.I paid about 85 bucks for my first one in 1991.Not many people in vermont use these type of reels..??GREAT REEL 100%
