There are so many now it would be hard to even list all the 6500 size ABU's. the 6600 designation means a center thumb bar free spool release.

I think the big handle John mentioned like on the BG series is a must. The little paddle handles suck. The difference between a C3 and a C4 is the levelwind bearing. There is also a faster retrieve ratio in the C4. I think the faster retrieve is an advantage sometimes and a disadvantage other times but thats a personal decision based on your area and intended application.

I like the BG6500CL and the BG7000CL.


The only problem I ever had with the Mag Elite is the mag casting control slider getting bumped forward by accident. When that happens , its a guaranteed blow up. My solution is to tape it in place with black tape at about a 1.5 setting.

I've had all kinds of ABU's in all sizes from 5500 to 9000 size and most models including C3 , C4 , Mag elite , Ultracast , Morrum , and Big Game and I always end up back using my levelwind Big Games.
