My Ambassadeurs put a lot of bass in the livewell back when I fished tournaments. Brutally hard on reels to fish them aggressively 5 plus days a week. Now they live a life of leisure for my much more occasional outings. I haven't had to repair anything on them since I retired from tournament angling. They are just about as close to bulletproof as a reel can be. I've got 4600, 5000, and 5500 models. Very good equipment.
