Do your research!!!I use this with a 7' GX2 rod, meanly for catfish (channel) and works very well! I will say casting is smooth, its easy to use once you find the right set up for you, will take a beating and great in price. now I am not saying its the best, but I am really impress! looking at review on here will make you think its horribly. believe me, I was really close not to buy but that price! I did it anyways and I will say best 79.99 I spent!!!

Solid reelBought 2 of these reels , one on a cherrywood 7ft md heavy. Other on a lightning rod 7ft md heavy. Very happy smooth casting . I know it’s not the c3 , but for the money you can’t beat it!

Poor QualityI have owned three of these reels (bought them all at the same time) and none of them made it through an entire season of catching 10-50 lb blue cats on the ohio river. At first the reel works great but after a little abuse of catching big blue cats the plastic release button strips out when you start turning over the crank attempting to reel in your line. You can hear the gears slipping inside. I will never own another. The older stile ambassadeurs with the metal release buttons i have still work today and they have quite a few years on them,

Last resortBought this reel almost 2 years ag, it was great up until now. Some how the spool just stopped engaging and won’t retrieve any line and I was able to pull the line off with the drag all the way tight. Not sure what happened but definitely won’t buy again unless it’s the last reel available

Too Complicated For MeBeautiful reel, but I wish I hadn't wasted my $80. I'll probably never use it again. Took it out for the first time yesterday. Couldn't throw my line out but a few feet. I thought, "Maybe I need a manual?" Duh!!! Went online and found the manual. Six pages long. Way too complicated for me. Too many bells and whistles. Too many things to open, turn and adjust. I just want a good reel I can depend on. This was a gift from my son, so I can't return it.

DisappointmentThis reel failed on it's first trip out. Not only is the spool release button loose, once the crank is engaged it slips intermittently. How does a brand new reel have a stripped gear?!? I will be returning this reel and looking to upgrade to the C3. I have used Abu products in the past without issue, and look forward to using them again, but this is overpriced garbage. It cast nicely without issue, but good luck retrieving.

Huge DisappointmentI've always wanted an Ambassadeur trolling reel. I couldn't afford one but I bit the bullet & ordered one. I tried "loading" it with leadcore line but the line balled up against the left side of the spool before I even got 40 yds. on. The line guide is really flimsy and travels too far to the left. I stripped the line off and refilled it holding the line hard to the right...no big ball. I haven't fished with it yet. If the line-balling recurs I will return the reel for a refund.
Which model is left handed and which one is right handed? I think I saw both in the store. I don’t remember which one was the right handed reel
