About Abu Garcia
Originally a watch factory, Abu Garcia was founded in Svangsta, Sweden, near the Morrum River in 1921. Founder Carl August Borgstrom was a clever craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering. The company originally manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers, and taxi meters until World War II, when the demand for taxi meters sharply declined. Undaunted, Abu Garcia redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels, eventually receiving the honor of being chosen "Purveyor to the Royal Swedish Court"--a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers who consistently exceeded the court's high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Abu Garcia remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highest-quality, most-innovative products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bulletproof Performance, July 6, 2006

SevereWX (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
My Abu-Garcia 6500-C3 has been going strong for over 15 years now without any problems. It's just as strong and smooth as the day I bought it.

The reel is built with quality, durability, and ruggedness in mind. Handling it lets you know that you're holding a reel that won't let you down. I've winched in some huge channel cats on this reel without any problems. It handles everything from light monofilament to heavy braids with equal ease. Casting is smooth and trouble free so long as you do your part, and retrieval is just as smooth.

The only area of improvement that the reel could use is to upgrade the drag discs. Though the drag is fairly smooth, it could use some extra smoothing out and more hold when cranked all the way down. This is not a big deal as upgraded drag discs are readily available, and it's best to change out the drag washers every year or two anyways.

4.0 out of 5 stars expected better for the price, December 28, 2011

This review is from: Abu Garcia 6500C3 Ambassadeur C3 Baitcast Round Reel (3 Ball-Bearing, Gear Ratio 5.3:1, Capacity 14/245) (Sports)
this reel had some problems mainly casting distance & line retrieve speed.frankly I expected better for the price,nevertheless i did land a 40 lb black drum using it.after using it 3 times the handle that secures it to the rod broke off. I decided to send it to Abu Garcia to fix. I still think it's worth it but it may be wise to invest in a better reel if you can afford the price tag

4.0 out of 5 stars So far,so good, December 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Penn Battle 10/230 Line Capacity 6+1 Bearings 6.2:1 Spinning Reel (Sports)
I recently purchased 3 of the 4000 BTL reels based on reviews I had read. 2 for gifts and 1 for myself. I spooled each with 30# Tuffline XP green braid. Tried my luck at surf fishing on Hatteras Island. The reel performed fine. I caught a few dogfish and skates. I had the reel mounted on a 9ft medium action Tica rod(UEHA427402S). The reel cast great,reels smoothly, and the drag feels fine. The only reason that I didn't rate it a 5, is because I've only used it once. Hopefully, it will hold up well with normal maintenance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reel, November 25, 2011
This review is from: Penn Battle 10/230 Line Capacity 6+1 Bearings 6.2:1 Spinning Reel (Sports)
I got this reel when it first came out and have put some hours on it.I fish in the salt water at least 4 times a week so the reel does show some signs of wear and tear but overall it has held up very well. I really like the smooth drag and the spool with the rubber on it so if you are using braid it wont start slipping. Pair it with an Ugly Stick intercoastal and it is a great tool to get the reds on the flats or battle the big drum at the bridges. Great reel and well worth the price. Hope this review helped.
