This is a great casting/fishing reel. As it sits lower to the rod than a standard 6500 reel it is easier to grip and control as you cast. It's also much lighter but feels more solid and stable. As usual, it"s over-braked and benefits from changing the bearings, but these are easy changes to make and you'll get years of reliable high performance from it.

This is a well made good quality all rounder reel that is good for fishing straight out of the box. It has stainless steel gears and hybrid ceramic bearings although is very controlled with the magnetic brake. Not an overly fast reel due to it having the clicker but it is a very good clicker. If you can find this reel at a good price which I did (149.99 new) then it is worth it. This reel will last you a life time if you maintain it

I`ve got a few ABU 6500s and this is a good one. Pretty much what you`d expect and nothing particularly different from the ABU concept, so happy with that. The effectiveness of the brakes are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC compared to my others. Full on, the spool will spin for about 4 secs and stops dead, so a good fishing reel. When you get yours, bin the standard spool bearings and fit some other ceramic hybrids. The stockers are really slow. And clean off all the excessive grease that`s daubed all over the place and you're good to go. 5stars from me. It`s a pretty thing too for the tackle tarts out there.

Nice smooth reel with a wide range of control for big fish baits or small worm baits at distance using the magnetic breaking system.
