The toughest AmbassadeurŽ Saltwater Classic Reel ever built. Featuring our world famous Carbon Matrix™ Drag system for an ultra smooth, yet ultra powerful long lasting drag, a dual anti-reverse for solid hooksets, an ADS spool design for extreme loads, and stainless steel gears for extreme durability. It has an Everslik™ coated spool shaft for durability and smoothness, 2 HPCRŽ (High Precision Corrosion Resistant) bearings with corrosion resistant Instant Anti-Reverse bearing, and a synchronized TIN coated Levelwind Syustem for an even line lay. Each reel comes with both a Paddle Grip handle and a Power Handle.
Gear ratio is 5.1:1; comes in both a right and left model; reel is available in a 5500 and 6500 size.

I look forward to using these for muskies as I just purchased (2) of the 6500 models for the 2010 season.
