The reel and handle assembly routinely came loose from the housing. On a boat ride to my fishing hole, the assembly came out and went swimming. Thank goodness I had a back up rod. The spool release is set where it can be easily engaged when the reel is palmed while fighting a fish. I have lost several fish because of this. If you buy an ABU, shun the C4 and buy the C3
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had recently bout the 6601C4 off of Abu Garcia's Website. I fish on the lake out of my boat for bass, catfish, and some pike and musky. The first time i got out there i went to throw it out and a couple of things popped out of it, and dropped in the lake. I have asked about to replace the parts and the certain parts that broke off cannot be replaced. I had high hopes for this reel cause i have heard great things about it. But as it turned out i am very upset and i wish Abu Garcia would refund me a reel because i still trust the Abu Garcia name. I also have a verdict and love it.

I've had half a dozen different reels over the years and when it came time to up grade a friend recommended the abu c4. This reel has out performed every other reel I have ever owned and I now own 5 of them. I will only use abu's now
I would recommend this to a friend!
