abu garcia 6500cs pro rocket reel Ambassadeur Sunset Orange Baitcast The Swedish model has been reproduced from left and right in the 5500 series and 6500 series Abu Garcia PR-6500CARPPRO22 Ambassadeur Carp

The mono helps in creating friction on the braided line, allowing for better performance out of the reel

I like a 5/0 EWG for the smaller baits and a 6/0 Superline hook for the larger ones

Ive caught most of my bass on the Heddon Spook with a consistent, walk-the-dog action, where, with a little slack in the line, I use short twitches of the rod tip and take up some of that slack to impart the side-to-side action

Beginner baitcasters will find this reel reliable and durable with its super smooth ball bearings with a corrosion-resistant shield

Casting distance is excellent, especially once you get the brake set properly
