Description
Where There's Water and Fish, There's the C3. One month you're splashing through icy streams for steelhead. The next you're out in the river tangling with big cats. All summer you're pounding the lake for trophy largemouth. Throughout it all - even when you're in brackish waters hauling in the redfish - your trusty Ambassadeur C3 never lets you down. It's the reel that invented the entire category of modern baitcasting, and has become the most imitated reel of all time. But, most of those imitations include plastic in critical areas - which crumbles under the repeated pounding of deep diving crankbaits and jumbo spinnerbaits - the C3 includes three stainless steel bearings and Swedish cut brass gears that hang tough no matter how long or how hard you fish. It's the most popular reel in the world. This year Ambassadeur C3 reels are smoother meshing, quieter cranking and feature our redesigned levelwind, line guide and paddle grips for more precision and performance. Get out there. Go fishing. Your C3 is ready. Whenever and wherever the fish are biting.
Brute strength meets refined style in this round baitcast reel. Upgraded performance and styling merge with proven strength and engineering. The heritage continues with the new C3 fishing reel, designed to meet the demands of the most hardcore angler.
