This round baitcaster made Abu Garcia famous, and to this day, thousands and thousands of anglers swear by this great reel. The Ambassadeur is the ultimate combination of strength, smoothness, and precision, and you have to own one to be able to experience its might and awesomeness fully! The fact that this model, the C3, and the Ambassadeur C4, are still made in the original Abu factory in Svangsta, Sweden, doesn’t make it any less popular or mythical. More AND SNAPS BACK STRONG!
