Abu Ambassador 6500-C3 2SPEED Reel - Abu Burgundy

Abu Ambassadeur 6500-C3 2SPEED Reel - Abu Burgundy - Used, Excellent Condition - Abu Garcia - Made in Sweden - Baitcasting Reel - With Line

This is an older model, about 20 years old, but it was mostly kept as a collectible, so it remains in extremely clean condition. Please only purchase if you understand this.

I had the impression it was for freshwater and brackish environments, for large fish, but due to my tendency to get into things for the look of it, it mostly ended up as a collection piece. (I only casually fished for bass and sea bass.)
I had envisioned using it for large snakeheads, catfish, bass, sea bass, etc.

It comes with multi-colored PE line, so if you're not particular, please use it as is.

There are slight scratches on the body edges. I've tried to capture them in the images, so please check them before considering (last 2 images). The only clear scratches are these two spots and on the plastic part of the handle.

Overall, it's sparkling clean, so I believe you'll be able to use it with satisfaction.
There are no functional issues, but it has not been recently serviced, so any future maintenance will be up to you.

This listing is for the reel only; no accessories are included.

I don't dislike the recent, more affordable Abu reels, but reels made in the home country really get me excited.

As an old-school angler, I appreciate that it has a mode that produces a winding sound, characteristic of older products (though sound preference is subjective!).
