The Abu Garcia 6500C3 is one of the best baitcaster reels on the market and has been a favorite for catfishing over the years. Should you ever need parts, they are easy to fine and priced right. With a little research it is easy to disassemble, clean and re-lube your own reel. Be sure the side plate is stamped "Made in Sweden". NOTE: Avoid the China made version of this reel, it is an entry level reel and not good quality.

Big fish that make quick runs will backlash these if you are not careful. I lost two of these with the reel set in the clicker mode surf fishing in Florida. I would not recommend these for big game unless you have some way of locking the rod so it cant be lost due to a back lash and getting tangled.

Easy and smooth cast , great drag and made in Sweden so a quality product that will last a lifetime as long as you take care of it. So far have caught a 25Lb flathead catfish . My personal best.. !

My experiences with the Abu Garcia 6500 are favorable. I have used them exclusively for salt water fishing for the last 5 years. I used my first 6500 so much, I had to have bearings changed changed. I found three more 6500's on ebay for fair prices. A couple were used and a one was new. I rinse these reals off with fresh water ater each trip to the Gulf.
