DUDE! It will be the best money you’ve ever spent! The bulk of my light to medium tackle, to include one 10000 is Abu Garcia. They, in my contravertial opinion, make the best reel on the market, and have been for the money. If you’ve got a few extra bucks, step up to the C4 model, it has one more ball bearing. They hold alot of line, and have a clicker too. What kind of fishing are you going to be doing with them? They’ve got a new 7000 with a lever drag out now. It’s toooooooo sweet! I’d get one but the wife would shoot me if I brought home another rod or reel. LMAO​😛 ---

\*\* Hey Rockabilly714, I have several 6500 C-3’s and I would buy them again. I use mine for Jigging for Lake Trout and have also used them catching Musky. They are a very good reel, this just my humble opinion.\*\* * * * **AFDan52** ---

\*\* My opinion on the C-4 is that it is just as good as any of the AbuGarcia reels.They are tough and will take a beating as long as you maintain them properly, they should give you years of service.\*\* ---
