Bob F Posted April 19, 2005 Report Posted April 19, 2005 Not sure if it's been noted on the Forum before, but I notice in the Ads at the top of the Forum page that Tacklebargains are selling Abu Ambassadeur 5600 C3B - Factory Recon's for Quote
blueboatdriver Posted April 19, 2005 Report Posted April 19, 2005 Bob, Is this a good deal?Would this reel be suitable as a bass reel? Quote
Sam Posted April 19, 2005 Report Posted April 19, 2005 i just brought a 6500 off alun is this a good reel for pretty much any smaller species. sam Quote
alun j. Posted April 19, 2005 Report Posted April 19, 2005 Sam, Your reel is an out and out caster !! Great for whizzing a bait 150 m. or more from the beach. It's fine for light boat fishing [ up to about 6 or 8 oz. weights ] but as you rewind check the lay of the line, you may need to thumb the line if the spool is full. Alun. Quote
Sam Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 150m i cant cast that far try ten feet ask dad he'll tell you. hopefully my conolon will arrive soon and hoping to get a conolon uptider for my birthday. sam Quote
alun j. Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Sam, Try putting it on a beachcaster.......... 12 - 14 ft. 4 or 5 oz weight and even a pendulum cast will zoom out over 100m. Alun. Quote
great white Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 If you want to have a go at the proper casting Sam You had better ask Gary to teach you. he is the one with 200 yard + casting badges If I want to fish that far away I move the boat Charlie Quote
Bob F Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Posted April 21, 2005 Cheers Alun. Thanks for the comments/tips. Not in the market for another reel myself. Just started to thread to point it out. Looks like you've still got some reels to sell off. A terrific buy for someone. cheers BF Quote
