The 5601 is left-hand retrieve with 8kg max drag and 0.32mm line capacity (220m mono). The 5600 is right-hand retrieve with 1.8kg max drag and 0.36mm line capacity (215m mono). Choose based on your hand preference and the weight class of fish you're targeting.
Right-hand retrieve (5600) is standard for most anglers and allows right-handed casting with the rod. Left-hand retrieve (5601) suits left-handed casters or those who prefer to cast with their rod hand and reel with the left. Test both to find your preference.
Yes. Both models handle braided line effectively. The 5601 accepts up to 0.32mm mono or equivalent braid. The 5600 handles up to 0.36mm mono or heavier braid. The Carbon Matrix drag works smoothly with braid, and the sturdy construction withstands the higher pressure of braided line.
Both the 5601 and 5600 retrieve 65cm of line per full crank turn. This fast recovery speed lets you quickly work topwater lures, reposition swimbaits, or take up slack after a pike run.
The two models are built for different application ranges. The 5601's 8kg drag handles larger pike and heavy lures (over 50g) with power and reliability. The 5600's 1.8kg drag is optimized for lighter to medium pike presentations and smaller lures. Both use durable Carbon Matrix or dual-brake systems appropriate to their drag class.
Primarily for pike fishing with large lures (swimbaits, jerks, topwater plugs, large crankbaits). Excellent for trolling, casting from shore or boat, and sight-fishing in clear water. The solid construction and smooth drag handle aggressive pike behavior and strong head shakes.

The Ambassadeur Beast HD reels are engineered for demanding pike fishing with large lures and powerful casts. Built with a solid aluminium frame and super brass gearing, these round baitcasters deliver the strength, stability, and smooth rotation needed for aggressive presentations and big fish.
The fully aluminium body and side plates create a rigid platform. The super brass gearing and solid aluminium crank arm withstand repeated heavy casting. Available in both left and right-hand retrieve positions to match angler preference.
The Carbon Matrix drag with star drag mechanism provides smooth, reliable braking power—crucial when fishing pike on braided lines or heavy topwater lures. Bearing count of 3 ensures predictable drag engagement without excess friction.
With dual mono capacity ratings (220m at 0.32mm for the 5601, 215m at 0.36mm for the 5600), these reels handle both mono and braid setups. Fast 65cm per-turn retrieve speed lets anglers quickly reposition lures or set hooks.
Large swimbaits, jerks, and topwater plugs. Trolling and casting for pike in European rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Anglers seeking a no-compromise round baitcaster that rewards proper technique with smooth, powerful performance.
