Abu Garcia® Ambassadeur® Record® Casting Reel

Carbon Matrix Drag
Instant anti-reverse
Six-pin centrifugal brake

Prepare to be amazed by the Record's incredible smoothness and castability. A single cast proves this is a distance-casting machine that relegates other reels to second-class status. Sensi-Brake™ spool bearing delivers unmatched smoothness and sensitivity during the retrieve. Carbon Matrix Drag is reliably smooth and strong when you need to overpower big fish. High-performance Swedish-cut gearing combined with a total of six bearings ensures ultrasmooth casts and retrieves. Adjustable six-pin centrifugal brake has a broad adjustment range. Three strategically placed corrosion-resistant bearings for long life. Middle gear spool bearing improves smoothness and durability of the levelwind gear. Vented Spool™ reduces weight. (Note: High-capacity models will not have a vented spool and have a single paddle handle.)

Giant Killer

Date:May 2, 2012

I used this real for the first year fishing island calicos and the occasional sea bass or bonita. The reel held up well no complaints has amazing casting when spooled with spectra. The kicker was taking it on a October 2 day trip out of PT. Loma and having it spooled with 40lb izor spectra topshoted with 15lb Izor. The reel was intended to never be used seeming we were on a trip looking for tuna. 20 lb was getting bit but wasn't consistent so I matched the Record 60 up with a seeker black steel 7Ft 25(30)35 and pinned a sardine on casted off the bow and nearly instantly was connected. The drag was no problem and 15 mins later a beautiful 30lb Jackpot winning blue fin hit the deck. All in all the reel slayed 5 fish back to back no issues before the bite shut off. This reel did more than I could ever expect. Its the only Abu I fish and most likely will stay in my bag of tricks for a long time. This reel is nearly two years old no issues yet.

The Results I was Looking For!

Date:March 28, 2012

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Record Casting Reel has been giving me exactly what I was looking for to pair up with my 7' 0" Extra Heavy Muskie Rod. It has performed exactly as the slesman at the Hamburg store said it would. It has been reliable and feels great when reeling in Big Muskie Bait. Muskie are the fish of 10,000 casts, and I made this purchase so that I can keep on fishing for many years to come without having to worrying about my fishing gear.

My first Abu garcia reels

Date:March 12, 2012

first i was skeptical about abu garcia reels, but i finnaly decided to give try and i did. i bought abu garcia record 60, first thing that i noticed it was heavy, solid and pretty simple. then i paired with lamiglas x10 mhc and spool it with 15 lbs lines, since i intended to use it for chinnok fishing. it cast very good, easy to adjust and the retrieve was smooth altough is not as smooth as the other brand. but for the price,this reel is keeper. the only down side about this reel is, you have take everything off to adjust the centrifugal break .which is on the other reel, you only just need to loose one screw.
