Hey Darren, I would love to grab one or two of those, I have an older 5500 and in my quest to find some info on it I stumbled onto a great tutorial for the 6600 mag, hope it helps.

Good find Bucktail. The 6600 C5 Mag x is the best Abu reel I own. I don't know how much they are but if they are in decent condition, snap them up.

I used to have a couple C-5s and their a pretty decent reel for the price.

Ha! And Lew, that purchase was another "Lew" recommendation which I again thank you for.

I pick your brain every time you post Lew And i bet you never feel a thing Just got a St Croix Premier Musky rod, and waiting to find a deal on a Calcutta.

Think Daiwa Luna or Millionaire CVZ as much superior to a regular Calcutta (the spool is much better especially for big fish like Musky). On the other hands a Calcutta TE is the best there is in a Musky reel. I never thought much of round Abu's myself.

Once used an Abu Garcia reel, that was so long ago they came in a plastic and carboard stretch wrap thing with a a rod. Used it for a couple of years then gave it to my Son. Cheap and well made. For the last 25 yrs, I have been using the same two reels, Daiwa SGA1355 SR and a Penn 209 for large game fish.
