Its moderate retrieve suits anglers who want controlled cranking in a traditional round reel. This smaller 5500\/5600-size format suits anglers who do not need the larger spool’s added line capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon Matrix drag applies controlled resistance under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece reel foot strengthens the mounting connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronized level wind spreads line across the spool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix-pin centrifugal braking helps control spool speed during casts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent handle and drag star keep controls within comfortable reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: C3-5500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: 1649419\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 5500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrieve: Right hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear ratio: 5.3:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearings: 3 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum drag: 15 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9.45 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine recovery: 26 in. per handle turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono capacity (yd\/lb): 295\/10; 240\/12; 170\/17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraid capacity (yd\/lb): 315\/20; 235\/30; 165\/50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFreshwater \/ Saltwater\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended for freshwater use.

Begin with conservative spool control and brake settings, then reduce braking gradually as casting conditions allow. Keep thumb control as the presentation reaches the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider this size for freshwater bass, walleye and moderate catfish or pike work matched to the rod and line. The moderate gearing supports a steady, deliberate retrieve. Maximum drag is a limit, not a setting to use automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abu Garcia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51869402235158,"sku":"115132","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6011\/5734\/files\/115132XL_85d7cf08-5bcc-426b-9c3a-3fba7e433716.jpg?v=1793613322","url":"https:\/\/grantsfishingcompany.com\/products\/abu-garcia-ambassadeur-round-reel-right-hand-c3-5500","provider":"Grants Fishing Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
