Location: Yahara River Chain | I think he's right, Smokey. Most buy the Revo Toros low profile reel rather than the round Ambassadeurs like the one pictured. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | This is a special edition reel pretty much designed as a collector's item, Beast gearing/features in a traditional ABU. |

Location: Elk Grove Village, IL & Phillips, WI | I too love my round Swedish made Ambassadeurs. They are easy to repair and upgrade. The Beast looks like a true beast! |

Location: US | I like my 6500 big game and would love to try one of those. However, for $400 it better be one hell of an upgrade from the big game. |

Location: Aurora | If it was designed as a collectors item I doubt Abu would be marketing them with full page ads that show the reel in use, mounted on a rod. Anyone who has one, feedback is appreciated. |

| I prefer the older 6500c than the c3. Not very fond of the anti reverse bearings. I like the old style with the internal cog to stop back reeling. I would like to have a beast but my 2-c3s, 1-6500c and a 6000c work fine for almost all baits. |

| IMO, if you like fishing with the old round Swedish made Ambassaduers, you will probably love the Ambassaduer Beast. I don't own one, because I have also made the transition to the Toros. I believe it was Abu's way of not forgetting us Abu old timers!  kDAWG |

| More than likely a decent reel, but I think they really missed the boat....see what I did there?.....on the graphics. Looks like a childrens "first musky reel" to me.

Location: Oswego, IL | i actually think somewhere out there they sell these with a hard clear display case...not saying its only meant for that. I haven't used this one, but older ones I have, and didn't have an issue, i just prefer low profile ones now.. |
