Q&A
Built on the rock-solid fundamentals that have made this series so popular, the new C4 focuses on improved casting performance, while still maintaining the same durability and dependability that has made it legendary. This Abu Garcia® Ambassadeur® C4 Classic Round Baitcast Reel retains its proven, bulletproof power and performance—and incorporates carefully considered touches that make it stronger, lighter, more efficient, and smoother. The benefits of this model include a 25% lighter spool design, a 65% lighter aluminum line guide, a bent star and handle for more efficient retrieves and more manageable fish fights. The Duragear 2 brass gearing adds even more durability to a reel that is already virtually indestructible, and the ever popular 6.4:1 gear ratio, linked to the more efficient bent handle and drag star, lets you muscle in the biggest scaly warriors. Appropriate for a huge variety of gamefish, including bass, striper, catfish, walleye, pike, muskie, lake trout, salmon, snook, redfish, and more.

Great ReelBought this a month ago to put on a 8 foot musky rod. Have cast it hundreds of times with musky lures already on a 2 week trip to the French River. Worked flawlessly
Was using it when caught and released a 53 inch musky. An excellent reel with all you need to troll or cast, no extra bells and whistles to cause problems..

Update!I've had this old workhorse for years now, and it's never let me down! Still solid like the first day I took it out of the box! I do maintain my reels regularly! Complete tare down, degrease, relube, oil! At least twice a season, more depending on how often I use in the saltwater! Well maintained, this reel will last for years!The one thing I must say, get a power handle, it will make a big difference in you retrieve! Well worth the extra $20!

NOT FOR BUCKTAILSWore myself quickly trying to retrieve Cowgirl Jr’s. Too much bait for this reel. Bigger bucktails would be worse I am sure.

ExcellentI own several C3 reels and purchased this one for the faster retrieve speed for working crank baits with less work.
Wish they left the side release instead of the thumb bar but there are no other choices. The C3 or C4 is worth the extra money over the lesser S or SX. If purchasing a combo make sure that is includes a C3 or C4.
Very satisfied.

Great reelI use this reel for Mississippi River catfish and it has performed great including landing a 69 pound blue. Add the power handle and it cranks well. Smooth casting and decent drag but I wish it had at least a 20 lbs drag. I also have a C3 but like this one better because of the thumb spool release location being ergonomically located. Thanks Abu for making s good product.

Best reel I have ever owned!!!!!I bought this reel after doing lots of research, it was worth every penny, the retrieve is just so smooth, I purchased the 4600 because i wanted to have a round bait-cast reel that could throw light lures and hold around 8lb mono. For such a small reel to have a 15 lb drag is just amazing, the spool is just small enough so that your thumb can cover it to prevent backlash when casting. ive only had one backlash accident and that was due to a line loading issue, nothing to do with the reel. i pair this reel with the bassproshops graphite series 6'6" med heavy rod, that gives it enough back bone to get any sized fish out of the water and cover, ive landed lake trout,black bass,pike,freshwater drum snakehead and carp with this outfit, definitely one of the best on the market. i would recommend this reel to any small-large game freshwater angler and for small saltwater angling

is this ok for saltwater?
Asked by: goosey767
yes, it depends on what size, the 4600 can handel stripers, bluefish redfish seatrout barracuda , i would move up a size for anything else, make sure you relube the reel after use as salt water is very corrosive
