Excellent reelBought the 6600 SX for musky. Spooled it with powerpro. This reel is probably the easiest casting round reel I've used. Casts everything I throw with ease, up to 3 and a half ounces. The handle size was a headscratcher, same length handle as a small low pro. Added an aftermarket 130mm power handle. Much better.

DisappointedI have original ABU 5600 before they merged with Garcia and it still works better than this 5600SX. Casting is horrible no matter if you have zero brake or thumb pressure. Even putting on heavier weights you have to heave it to get it to go anywhere near where you're aiming. Throwing at a target is futile with this reel as it is just to tight....

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!!!

Poor casting performance (with two separate reels)Received as a gift 2 yaers ago. First summer it exhibited poor casting and would not drop when released (yes drag was adjusted). Cleaned out the grease. Again still poor. Sent it back. Received a new reel, and the same issues with the drag. Thought it needed breaking in. Iv used this reel 5 times in the past month and still nothing but issues. I have to put an outrageous amount of weight for it to drop. Casting maybe 6ft in front of me and that is its best. Mainly used for bass and catfish.

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
