Review by Gordon Sharp

The best reel in its class in the world IMO, a workhorse of a reel that should last a lifetime, tip for you, the C class ambassadeurs are the real deal made in Sweden, the ones you want, the S class are second rate made in China, avoid. The reel itself oozes class and is a joy to use, with a lower gear ratio that the C4 it is perfect for cranking in big lures for pike all day in the toughest of conditions.
