Own 2 of these reels and use them for Bass in the rivers here, very smooth & easy to use. Great for buzz baits along with all other types of lures/baits. I would recommend this product.

Guess I am a rookie when it comes to fishing this would be my first full "season". I have used both Penn's and Shimano's but then I tried my father-in-laws 5000c wow I loved the feel of it. So then went out and purchased a 6600C4 and strapped to a medium heavy action ugly stick. Love the combo, lets me reel in most of the fish we go for. Thinking of buying another reel Abu of course still debating between the Alphamar and the 7000i C3. Want the added capacity looking for a strong and durable reel for the bigger fish (striped bass, etc). Welcoming suggestions...
Casts a good distance and mostly accurate ( probably human error when it isn't).
I have to say I love my Abu Garcia C4 and will be hard pressed to switch I love the feel and easy maintenance.
my father trying to help land it with the net… (it was probably not a good idea)
Hey there, I personally own this product and a couple other similar ones to this one all from abu garcia and I recently happened to hook myself onto a 5'5" 75 pound alligator gar with my 6600 C4 and boy did it put up a nice fight! I thought the fish was about 50 pounds and since my line has an 80lb breaking strain, I did not give it much drag! after fighting it and landing in the boat, we saw that it was alot bigger than we thought! When we weighed it I found out that I had put my line through a lot of stress! Im just happy it made it! However, the next day I went onto the lake again and tried to fish it with it, when I clicked the button to cast, line would not come out, it basically didn't cast! Now I do not know if these reels are made for big alligator gars, or if it was my fault for not applying drag at all, but i was a little disappointed knowing that it broke down! Overall, the reel worked great and I really do like it its just that it broke down on me! I hope the same doesn't happen to all my other abu garcia reels!
I would recommend this to a friend!

the same thing happened to me when i hooked up with a big shark on my baitcaster, reel wouldnt cast very well or would get caught up when casting, it is because u fought the fish with so much drag, small reels can only handle so much.. you just have to ask yourself before tightening the drag up too much, is the fish worth the loss of your reel? usually if its that big the answer is probably yes.. ha

I've been fishing most of my life. A good friend got me to try out his ambasitor 6000. Loved it. went out and bought two for myself on 11ft night stick rods. let me remind you that was 5 years ago. The reels still work like like brand New they are used every weekend during the warm months. So this year I upgraded to the C4's this year. LOVE Them. I have them on 11ft sealine surf rods. biggest fish so far is a 32 pound shovel head. I cast my c4 just as far as my buddies pro rockets. brings in the fish with no problem. I have caught well over 80 catfish on my c4's this year. I am a Abu Garcia user for life
