Excellent!
I ran across one a few weeks back. I have to say it is a very smooth reel! These Abu Sweden made models are solid! Smoother cast then anything I have used before. Last year I cheaped out and regretted it. Hope to catch some big fish this year! Definitely worth the price!

Most expensive reel I have ever had
So far so good for a first time baitcaster user.Have had couple of nest when I forgot to put my thumb on the line but after adjusting brake at every sinker change and holding thumb on the line when casting and a few fishing trips everything has been good. Very solid reel but still waiting on catching that big flattie for the true test.

Can't get any better
I own 4 6501's and used them mainly for Muskie fishing. 1 of them is over 20 yrs old and still going strong. I throw big baits up to 16 oz for big fish and my 6501's perform flawlessly. The only thing I would like to see is 20 lb of drag on these reels instead of 15 I have mine cranked down tight using 100 lb braid and have lost a fish or 2 because the drag will slip on the hookset on a long cast and I don't get the hooks buried like I like But that is a very minor issue Overall you can't go wrong with these reels

For Reel Performance
Before a Family trip to Costa Rica, I purchased two of the 6500 C3's, loaded them with #16 green ANDE tournament mono and paired them each with 6 foot, 2 piece Ugly Stik GX2 medium action rods. Final outcome was watching myself as well as my 12 and 13 year old sons landing several Corvinas and Red Snappers in the 15 pound weight range. It was just the perfect fight to enjoy the catch but with a minimal stress to the reels, rods and line. Reels are light, tough, easy to use and easy to maintain. What a purchase !!!!!

Smooth as butter
Moved from a blue max to a c3 4601 for jerkbaiting pike. Difference between the reels could not be any bigger. The 4601 feels like a incredibly solid and high quality reel. I have the 2014 model which is unbelievably light. My rod and this reel are just as heavy as the blue max alone! The drag is also working perfectly. When I first casted I could not believe how smooth this thing gives out line. Loving it!

Junk
After fishing with Garcia reels for over 40 years very
disappointed in this purchase.
My 25 year old 5000 is ten times the reel and will
out cast this piece of junk by 20 yards.
Out of the box could not get the spool to adjust
for free fall of the lure. Finally broke the reel down
and it was like it had 90 weight gear oil in it.
After a through cleaning it operate marginally better.
I won a many a tournament with Garcia reels and mirrolure for specked trout. Thank goodness I still have some good Garcia's. It totally amazed me that reels that had been stored away for ten years smoked this new reel.
