My brother-in-law at 2:00 AM. "Best catfishing ever"!
I love catfishing the tidal waters of the James River in Virginia. For two years now I have been using two AG 6600 C4 reels with 15 lb test line. I have landed several 20 to 30 lb. fish and I like the great drag system on this reel. When you are fighting a big head-shaker that is 2x heavier than your line test, it gives you confidence to know that your reel will do it's part without fail. Two unrelated but important features of the 6600 C4's are ease of cleaning and bait clickers loud enough to wake you - between Midnight and 6:00 AM I get in a nod in now and then. The only thing that I have as a Con on these reels is that the bait clickers are hard to engage at times. When your hands are a bit slick it can be a pain. I have often sat there in the middle of the night thinking of how I could machine a better knob design or engagement mechanism. I plan to make some mods this winter and experiment when the big ones are biting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Use it at the beach and catching largemouth bass it's the best of both worlds. Just grease it once and a while.

50" Musky
My friend recommended this real, says its the real deal and thats no lie. Just an awesome real and my favorite for sure. Use it for Bass, Pike and Muskie. This reel has a good drag which is essential for fighting big fish. Going to purchase another one very soon! If you buy anything less you wasting your time. Spend $110 for the 6600C4 and you wont regret it
I recently purchased a 6600 to replace a 6000 that is 30 years old. I have owned 2 5000's and a 6000 for more years than I care to relate. My Dad purchased me my first 5K 40 years ago and I still use it today. He liked it so much, he bought himself one as well. We caught a lot of fish with these reels over the years. I love my Garcia's and will always remember my Dad when I pull them out. Thanks for the memories and keep making great products!
