Default RE: catfish rods......

by the way heres the specs on the ambassadeur 6000 i know you will want to know them:

Aluminum spool
line cap 155 yds/20 lbs
instant anti reverse
1ss ball bearing/ 1ss roller bearing
on/off bait clicker

the cool thing about ambassadeur reels is they are pretty easy to upgrade most models the parts are interchangable so you can get more ball bearings from abu garcia to put in your reel. my ambassaseur 6000 now has 2 ss ball bearings and the roller bearing I swapped out one of the bushings with a ball bearing. I not trying to push ya to buy one just I highly recommend them I know if you had one you love it and never regret owning one.

My uncle is a big time striped bass fisherman and he has developed several upgrade kits for the ambassadeur reels. some are pretty economical I think a basic bearing kit is around 30 bucks and some of the kits can get pretty pricey. Im about to get one of his premium kits which upgrades all the bearings/bushings to abec 7 ceramic bearings and upgrades the brass gears to stainless steel and upgrades the drag to a higher performance multiple washer system the kit normally sells for I think around 200 bucks if you get a ambassadeur reel and you are interested in any of the upgrades PM Ill hook ya up with the details.
