Feel the Surge. Dominate the Fight.
Trophy blues and flatheads hit like freight trains. Your reel must answer with brute torque, steady drag, and bulletproof reliability. The Ambassadeur C3 7000 Catfish Special couples old-school round-reel strength with modern engineering, giving you the confidence to muscle giants out of deep holes and raging currents.
Every turn of the extended power handle pours raw force into the spool. Carbon Matrix™ drag releases line with velvet smoothness, protecting light braid when a river titan makes a heart-stopping run. Cast big baits with precision—six centrifugal brake pins tame over-run without killing distance. A synchronized level-wind lays line evenly, setting you up for flawless retrieves and crushing hook-sets.
