My dad had one for half his life but lost it in a creek while him and I were fishing as I was a kid. Now that I’m 19 with a job I’m saving up to get him one for his birthday as a blast from the past gift

Just bought one of these and I didn't even read any reviews. I literally judged it by how it looked and felt in the shop. Took a picture of it to show my fisherman friends at work and they all told me it's a badass reel. So I was pleased. I haven't got to use it yet because the weather has been terrible the last few weeks but it's loaded and ready to go as soon as the sun comes out. (and the wife will give me permission)

Those things are tanks. I still have 5500 c3's from my high school days, that still work great and have taken a beating. You could buy them at Walmart back then for 40$.

Just received my new 5500 a couple of weeks ago and I love it, loved it from the first cast, this is my 2nd Abu, the first one was a 5000D from the 70's as a gift....the new one is awesome and it looks badass on my Ambassadeur One rod, so I plan to get the 6500 in a couple more months, but I'm thinking on putting them on a new Daiwa Tatula MH rods because I'm not really liking the style and color rods Abu is putting out, I like that classic gloss black rod with full cork handles. I don't like those yuppie looking split handle crap with flashy colors and graphics. Lol, I know I'm hard on these modern style rods.

Im confused. I’m right handed and spinning reels usually have the handle on the left so I can have more torque pulling the rod in my right. With baitcasters I see right handed people like yourself reel with the right hand and hold rod with their left. Which baitcaster should I buy if I’m right-handed?

Just curious if you could help me out a bit with a quick explanation on why the weight of the lead matters when your gonna be pulling up a 5 lb fish ? I just got this reel and it seems like a good bay setup for fluke or good for the ocean on a very calm day im on the south shore of Long Island aswell so when we’re out 80 feet We’re dropping 3-8 oz of lead to hold bottom

I bought one..when I press the button for spool release it doesn't completely release the spool. It doesn't go into a full spool free release.Is there a constant drag on when casting ? I've opened the drag all the way and it doesn't help.All other reels I have will go into a free fall when drag is loosened..,any ideas? Thanks

candjconstr09 That's last year's model, the 6500-C3. Totally different reels. It's confusing but the truth.

Careful with that. Abu makes the 5500 in at least three models, the S, Sx and C3. The S and SX are budget lines made in China. The C3 is made in Sweden. Save for a few minor details they look the same but the internals and quality are different. I've had S SX and C3 models of Garcias and believe me, it you can afford it it's worth the extra money for the C3.
