Differences between the C3 and C4 Abu-Garcia

[JohnR]

Not much to add but I know that Mike has the power handles and Weekapaug can get them too if they don't have them. The discounted prices on the C3 minus the $15 rebate is certainly the way to go when on a budget and if the $15 off is on the C4 too (like last year) - that's definitely the way to go. You basically get the power handle for free after the rebate because the handle is like $15-20. The high speed gears are nice when you want to crank higher speeds for Albies or Blues (thinking about getting a 5600C4 for just that, Ablie and Bonito fishing) but you would need to crank a tick or two slower working eels than with the C3. One recommendation would be to toss some smoothie washers into them if you are getting big fish working over the drag...
