Have a number of red Ambassadors that I use for casting plastic worms. I have several 6500C's that are excellent reels for catfishing & stripers.
Also have 2-'2500C reels that remain one of the best light casting reels for Smallmouth. Also use them for finess casting of plastic baits. Purchased a as new 5000 at a pawn shop for $20. Owner said it had been on the shelf for over a year. The Swedish Ambassadors remain one of the best casting reels ever made, especially with a little upgrading.
Tbear,
I believe I purchased two 2500'c from you here on the fire some years ago. I put new ceramic bearings in them along with new two bearing cogwheels. Both reels are now just slicker than snot and cast with much less effort and more importantly...a lot farther.
