Comments about Abu Garcia Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Line Counter Reels:
Don't use for casting. Anchor or trolling for Steelhead, Chinook and Coho.
I bought one and ended up buying one for my wife. Line counters - once you figure out the length of line that is working your set. No guessing how much line did I have out??
Line counter went out on one reel. Had to buy the whole left side $25 plus shipping. Tried to fix bad counter but sealed no access.

I use this reel on my Downrigger set up. A very good reel for trolling, and the line-counter is addictive.

Comments about Abu Garcia Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Line Counter Reels:
Excellent reel for river backtrolling plugs and light weight salmon saltwater vertical jigging, where knowing how much line is out is critical. This reel will get you where you want to be every time. Even with a line counter this reel cast like a dream. Butter smooth, dependible and accurate, what more could you want.

I have had several of the line counter reels and ABU Garcia has one of the best ones on the market. They are excellent reels and should last a lifetime with proper care.

I purchased this reel to perform my heavy end salmon and steelhead fishing,saltwater trolling, jigging, fresh water river trolling and plunking. So far it has performed flawlessly and cast great for being a line counter. Awesome reel.
