Review: Salt water reel - This reel is great! I wish I would have brought 3 of these. I swear by it now.
Review: Reliable and Smooth Reel - The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur S is everything I hoped for in a round baitcasting reel. It’s built solid, feels durable in hand, and the drag system is smooth and consistent. I’ve used it for both freshwater and light saltwater fishing, and it handles everything from bass to catfish without a problem. The casting is smooth with very little backlash once it’s dialed in, and the retrieve feels powerful yet controlled. I especially appreciate the classic design paired with modern performance — you can tell it’s made to last. Overall, this reel gives me confidence every time I’m on the water. Abu Garcia really delivered with the Ambassadeur S, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, all-around baitcaster.
