Note: Abu Garcia is no longer manufacturing the Trophy Collection Series of reels with the laser-etched pictures of fish on the sideplate. These reels are becoming very difficult to find and will be collector's items in the near future. When our supply is exhausted, we will not be able to obtain additional reels.

This is the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 TCM (Trophy Collection – Muskie) baitcasting reel. Not only is this a handsome reel to look at, but it carries the rugged dependability of the Abu Garcia name.

The lure has a very handsome appearance and comes with the same tough quality and performance standard we have come to expect from Abu Garcia.

Performance features include: Instant Anti-Reverse – providing solid hook sets Non-slip aluminum spool A gear ratio of 6.3:1 Precision Swedish brass gears A line capacity of 245 yards of 14-pound test line Push-button free spool Line-out alarm It weighs 12.2 ounces

Additional Features Include:

1. A picture of a Muskie is etched into the left side plate

2. It has four stainless steel bearings, rather than the normal three found in the 6500C3, and

3. It has a counter-balanced power handle for heavy crankin’.

Also available are the etch patterns shown below:

Catfish

These reels are no longer available from retail outlets, but you may be able to find them on one of the Internet auction sites.
