The Abu Big Game series are all baitcasters. The difference between most Abu models is usually just cosmetic. I believe the only difference between the chrome rocket and the pro rocket is that the former has a chromed finish while the pro is simply painted (or powder coated). The major differences in all Abu baitcasters is whether they come with the push button release (like a 6500), or the thumb bar release (6600); the second difference is the number of bearings, three(C3) or four(C4), the fourth being the level wind bearing; and the third difference is the gear ratio, 5.3:1 or 6.3:1, there is a real low speed gear as well but I think only freshwater bass guys using crankbaits go for that. I'm not a big believer in spending a lot for an Abu, so I get the plain old C3 models, I have a 5500 C3 and a 4600 C3, but I also own a 6500 Big Game because it comes stock with the power handle for about the same as it would cost to upgrade the C3 model and it's meant to have a beefier frame. I also just ordered a 6500 TC or "Trophy Collection" because I wanted the higher gear ratio and it also comes with the extra bearing and the power handle and it was short money. Confused yet? Check out these guys, they've got good prices on all these reels and make it easy to compare different models.
