Comments: pure sexy! got it last season and i fishing it hard all season in the saltwater! i fish for stripers in the SF bay and it casts great. i barely had to grease it and stayed still stayed strong. only problem i seem to have is that there is grease leaking out of the handle and it seems to never stop, even when i take apart the handle.

Comments: the workhorse of all casting reels, for fresh or salt water fishing. no other reel brand or model comes close to the performance AND ease of maintenance of the abu c3 and c4 family of reels.

Comments: I bought a 5501C3 because my Shimano Cardiff 201A's thumb bar broke the first time out with it. The 5501C3 is not quite as smooth as the Cardiff on retrieves, but it is built much better. Every component on the Abu is solid. The casting distance and casting control is much better resulting in long distance casts and fewer backlashes in the wind. The drag is also smoother and stronger than the Cardiff. I anticipate that this reel will last me for many years to come. Shimano makes the best spinning reels out there, but I'll never purchase another Shimano baitcasting reel. If you want value and equipment that works day after day, this is the reel to buy.
