They are designed for demanding jerkbait fishing with strong lines and large lures, including pike fishing. Reinforced gearing, synchronized line lay and casting brakes support this use, so this is a specialist large-lure family rather than one presented for light-lure fishing.
JERK and JB both have a 5.3:1 ratio, 65 cm retrieve, a double handle and a weight of 360 g. JB HS has a 6.3:1 ratio, 76 cm retrieve, a single handle and a weight of 350 g. Choose HS for faster line pickup and the single-handle layout. The supplied specifications do not establish another performance difference between JERK and JB.
All three are left-hand retrieve models. Choose one if you want to turn the handle with your left hand, since there is no right-hand model in this selection.
The adjustable Carbon Matrix star drag controls line release during a fish's run and has a maximum rating of 7 kg. The 6-pin centrifugal and mechanical brakes control the spool during casting. These are separate functions, so the drag rating describes fish-fighting resistance, not casting brake strength.
JERK and JB are listed for 200 m of 0.32 mm monofilament, while JB HS is listed for 220 m at 0.32 mm. Use the capacity stated for your chosen model when planning how much line to load. These figures do not establish capacity at other diameters or for braid.

The Ambassadeur Jerkbait family comprises round baitcasting reels developed for demanding lure fishing with strong lines and large baits, including pike jerkbait fishing. Reinforced gearing supports this intensive fishing method. A finely adjustable Carbon Matrix star drag controls line release when a fish runs, with a maximum drag of 7 kg on all three models.
A 6-pin centrifugal brake works alongside a traditional mechanical brake to control the spool during casting. The synchronized level wind lays line across the spool to help prevent it from bedding in, an important consideration when fishing with strong lines and large lures. Dual backstop provides anti-reverse protection. The FastCast(TM) thumb button provides the casting release, and all three models have a left-hand retrieve and one bearing.
AMBASSADEUR 5601 JERK and Ambassadeur 5601 JB share a 5.3:1 gear ratio, 65 cm retrieve per turn, a double handle and a weight of 360 g. Both are listed as reel size 5000, with a monofilament capacity of 200 m at 0.32 mm. Their supplied specifications do not establish a further performance difference. JERK is also explicitly described for active fishing with hard and soft baits.
AMBASSADEUR 5601 JB HS has a 6.3:1 gear ratio and retrieves 76 cm per turn, taking up more line with each handle rotation. Choose it when faster line pickup matters. It has a single handle and weighs 350 g, 10 g less than the other two models. Its stated line capacity is 220 m at 0.32 mm. The choice therefore changes retrieve speed, handle layout, weight and stated capacity, while maximum drag and left-hand operation remain the same.
