Is there anyone who can tell me which of these Abu Garcia Bait Casting reels is better out of the lot...


1. Abu Garcia CB 6600

2. Abu Garcia C4 6600

3. Abu Garcia C5 6600

And if you dont mind let me know why it would be the one you selected, it would greatly help me in buying one of the three....

Thank you

The C5 would be my choice, it has more bearings that keep the spool & drive gear in proper alignment. This will allow for longer more consistent cast & hold up better over the life of the reel. With proper yearly service this reel will last a lifetime.

The C4 is also very solid. The CB uses bushing instead of bearings & r not as smooth.

If u do not need that much line the 5600 holds a good bit of line but is narrower & lighter making it more comfortable for a day of fishing.

These reels hold up well in saltwater also.

My 2 cents. Good luck.

either the C4 or the C5. the C4 has a higher gear ratio while the C5 has an additional bearing which wo not make much difference in casting. l'm curious too. do u need the higher capacity of the 6600? if you're after bass, the 4600 holds 170 yards of 10lb line which is enough for any bass that swims. also, if u like ambassadeur reels, take a look at the ''record'' series. the best caster of the lot. a bit more money but you're already planning to spend a hundred bucks. what is forty more?
