Frequently asked questions

The Ambassadeur Pro Rocket reel is known for its superior casting performance, thanks to its synchronized level wind system. It also has a Carbon Matrix drag system for smoother line retraction, and a six-pin centrifugal brake that applies consistent pressure for excellent cast control. It also has an extended bent handle for enhanced cranking power.

The Pro Rocket reel has both a high-speed version with a gear ratio of 7.1:1, perfect for fast retrieval, and a low-speed version with a 5.3:1 gear ratio that's ideal for techniques requiring a slower retrieve.

Although it's primarily designed for freshwater fishing, many anglers have reported using it successfully in saltwater. However, it's important to clean and maintain the reel thoroughly after each use in saltwater to prevent corrosion.

The Pro Rocket features four stainless steel ball bearings and one roller bearing. This contributes to the reel's smooth operation and performance.

    • Super nice reels
Style: 6500
I am a very avid fisherman. I fish catfish constantly. These reels hold alot of line, I spool with 40lb big game Trilene. I have them on 8' catfish Ugly stik rods and can cast an average of 80 yards with a 4 ounce weight. I can get some 100 yard casts but rod power is the issue. I put these on a 10' catfish rod Ugly Stik, and I was able to consistently cast 120 yards, I verify by counting the hand cranks back and count from when the weight hits the water not after sinking. Ok so the dual spool tension knobs are great. I set the handle side one first and then adjust the other side as needed to compensate for weight size and wind. I have never adjusted the crakes inside. The reels really cast smoothly, I have taken them snapper fishing, and the drag works well. The price is fair for such a quality reel. Out of habit I checked all the screws on both of the reels and on e was actually loose in the handle side. Glad I checked. I have owned these for 2 years now and zero issues, and hardly ever and backlash. The reels are very easy to adjust and get to cast well. I cast hard and far and fish 3-4 days a week and these reels have shown zero wear or stress. Highly recommend for sure and they really are the perfect size catfish reel. Biggest fish was a6' blacktop I caught this year. I catchall of catfish and I fish for big fish not babies. I have yet to find anything to challenge this reel to the point of stress, even the shark got whipped by this reel. ... show more

    • Top notch
Style: 6500
I ordered this reel but unfortunately received the wrong one. My review will be based on my friend’s reel, this is a high quality reel at a good price. His reel is made in Sweden so I’m not sure if it’s the same as the ones from Asia. Highly recommend

    • First one wouldn't reel
When i pulled it out of the box it looked possibly used. I opened the spool and then reel it in. For some reason the worm gear wasn't moving at all. I also noticed the wheel wasn't spinning. So i opened and closed the bail a number of times and nothing worked. After 5/6 times it still wasn't working. I tried adjusting the braking and it would randomly start working until i click the spool closed then it wouldn't work. Pretty disappointed in getting a defective product. Amazon is replacing it with a new one so I will wait and see. Replacement reel works great no issues. ... show more

I love this reel and can’t wait to catch some more cats on it, they wasn’t to big but this reel is the best one I’ve owned and it cast smooth as could be, definitely plan on a few more for other poles in the future

    • Great reel!!!
Style: 6500
I have tons of Abu Garcia's, round and low pro. I am loyal to the brand always have been think it runs in the family lol . I just bought this reel a few months ago. It's on a 7ft MH Penn rod with 30lb KastKing braided line. Its hauled in specs,reds(bulls), small shark, and many more. I can tell this is one that will last a life time if taken care of. I still have Abu's that are up to 30+ years old that I still use on every fishing trip. ... show more

    • Perfect addition to my collection!
Style: 6500
Swedish quality. This reel can really launch! I cleaned and re-lubed all bearings I could reach, added braid and paired it with a 7’6” veritas rod for the time being.
