For use with right hand?

Answer: Hello

Answer: This is a trolling reel basically. But I did buy it for my father and he is right handed.

can i get this in left handed?

Answer: I am not sure and think they may have discontinued the reel altogether. Which is a shame. All Abu reels indicate left hand with a "1" so if the model is a 6501 it is left handed. 6500 is right handed and so on. 5501 left, 5500 right etc

is this a 5500 or a 6500

Answer: The one you are asking about is a 6500. They also make a 5500 and it comes with a normal paddle handle and not the power handle.

Jim Ludwig : Very nice and smooth

Very nice and smooth, will hold 5 colors of 18 pound lead core ''tuff line'' or 10 colors of 15lb suffix 832 lead core.

ummm : No power handle on mine :(

I ordered the 5500LC. The description states that it has a power handle as shown in the picture. The reel I received did not have the power handle. I will be sending it back. Other than that it looks like a nice reel.

Robert H : Five Stars

These reels are trouble free and work great. Excellent for trolling

Amazon Customer : Item does not fit description.

Not as described. No power handle. Will be returning.

Steven G : whats not to love about it

Its an Abu, whats not to love about it.

Steve P. : Love the Abu C3's

I love the C3 Abu Garcia reels. I now have 10 of them and they have caught everything from kokanee to sturgeon. Great drags and easy to work on. Just remember the C3's are not the same as the S models. The C3's are made in Sweden and the S models are made in China.

This is a great little linecounter that will make a great trout reel but spooled up with braid it would work great trolling for salmon too. Honestly if I were going to do that I would go with the 6500 though.

Kanji Akane : nice!

It is simple and easy-to-use. I like ABU I like classic design. It is wonderful. I am satisfactory.
thank you
