All in all, I am pleased with the purchase, and I am chomping at the bit to put it to the test on the water. The reel cost me $90.00, which I consider an excellent value. During my 2013 fishing trip, I found that the reel worked well with light weight bucktails, surface baits and crank baits but had slippage problems with heavier lures and with jerk baits. A Great Reel…If You Can Find One In 2006, I participated in the Lake Chippewa Flowage Musky Tournament. A great feature of the tournament is that at each of the 3 tournament meetings there is a prize drawing for all of the folks registered in the tournament. I was fortunate to win an Abu Garcia 6600 SSC3 reel. I had never heard of the reel or seen it for sale anywhere. As it turns out, the reel is provided by Abu Garcia as a promotional item and it is not generally available over the counter. I am always up to try a new reel, so I loaded the reel with 50 pound test Tuf-Line and put it to work.
