Centrifugal Brake Miscount,November 8, 2009
By Anonymousfrom Seattle, Washington
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money Disadvantages: only has 4 pin brakes instead of 6 as advertised.
"Overall the reel is fantastic. The drag is smooth and powerful. The reel cast remarkably far and smooth for its size. The workmanship is good. The anti-reverse engages smoothly and instantly off from freespool with the turn of the handle. So you don't have to flick a switch. The only thing I don't like is how this reel is being advertised, as having a 6-pin centrifugal brake when there's actually only 4 pins inside? Regardless, this reel is a must have if you want to go after the big ones."

It's ok....,August 24, 2009
By SteveS
Advantages: Value for money Disadvantages: Durability
"I reluntantly bought the reel because the one I really wanted was out of stock and I needed another combo for a trip I was taking. I paired it with St. Croix casting rod and I use it primarily for Striped Bass and Blues. The reel itself looks great, holds a ton of line and is very smooth. The issues I have with the reel are the same ones I have with just about every Abu product I've owned - quality of contruction. The clicker broke almost immediately and the flip switch to cast and free-spool doesn't always click. Sometime I have to wiggle the spool a bit to get the the lever engaged. Like I said, the reel is strong and smooth but it's the little things that prevent this reel from being the great buy it appears to be."

"I've recently purchased two of these Abu Garcia 7000 C3i on Ugly Stik Tiger rods for catfishing. On my second trip I caught a 47# 43 inch blue catfish. I couldn't believe how smooth this reel was under the pressure of fighting this monster. Amazing drag! I like this reel far better than the Penn 320 GT. I have 6 Abu Garcia Ambassaduer 5600 C4, 5 Abu Garcia Revo S, and 1 Revo SX...They've never failed me with weekly use. I count on them, and so should you! C.P.R.!"

this reel,March 4, 2008
By sarafrom Galveston,Texas
""This reel is "the reel" when it comes to baitcasting. I have used ambassadeur mag series before and loved it. So I bought this one from this site. There is nothing at all to complain about. Everything is as it should be, even better. My old mag still works and have worked for 10 years now. No it doesnt look like it did 10 years ago, but it works just as great!!! This is a very longcasting reel and when putting it on a rod no matter what rod this reel looks and feels to good for its rod, it feels like all quality. I cant express myself better. This reel costs 150$+ in U.S.A and the satisfaction I realized how cheap that was. This reel loves to pull in big fishes and makes me wanna go fish more often.""

"This reel is "the reel" when it comes to baitcasting, ive used ambassadeur mag series before and loved it so bought this one not from this site though but there is nothing at all to complain about. everything is as it should. pehaps better ,and my old mag II still works and have worked for 6 years now.. no it doesnt look like it did 6 years ago but works just as great!!! This is a very longcasting reel and when putting it on a rod no matter what rod this reel looks and feels to good for its rod, it feels like pure quality. cant express myself better. This reel costs 200$+ in Sweden and the satisfaction I got after landing my second Cod on 26kg (my personal record btw), I realized how cheap that was. This reel loves to pull in big fishes and makes me wanna go fish more often."
