all ambassadeur fans: if you really want the best reel abu makes, invest in the ambassadeur morrum...i've been using the m5600c for almost a year now and it is hands down the best baitcasting reel i have ever used( and i've tried just about everything out there with the exception of the japanesemodel shimanos)...it is a little spendy retail but i got mine off ebay for under $125, it did take a few months for the bids on them to stay in the range i wanted to pay for it but my persistence paid off big time..
