Choose by the line capacity you need. With 0.35 mm mono, the C1-5500LC holds 210 m and the C1-6500LC holds 280 m. Both weigh 300 g and share the 5.1:1 ratio, 64 cm retrieve and 5 kg drag, so the C1-6500LC gives you more line reserve without a higher listed weight.
It shows the length of line paid out, not the lure's actual depth. The digital display is illuminated, so you can read it in low light and repeat a known line distance when trolling or lowering a presentation.
Both listed models have the handle on the right. They also share a compact bent handle and a star drag, so select either version only if right-hand winding suits how you hold and operate your rod.
The 4-pin centrifugal brake regulates spool rotation during the cast. The multi-disc star drag provides up to 5 kg of resistance when a fish takes line. They serve different stages of fishing, so the casting brake is not a substitute for setting the fish-playing drag.
No. Both models have an aluminium spool but are supplied unspooled and without a spare spool. Mono and braid capacities are listed for each model, so choose your line and spool the reel before your first freshwater session.

The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C1 Line Counter is a round baitcasting reel for freshwater fishing. Its illuminated digital line counter lets you monitor the length of line paid out, including in low light. This is useful when repeating a line distance while trolling or lowering a presentation. The counter indicates line length, not the lure's actual depth. Both the C1-5500LC and C1-6500LC have a right-hand handle.
A 4-pin centrifugal braking system controls spool rotation during the cast. The synchronized level wind distributes line across the spool to improve line lay and castability. The separate multi-disc drag uses synthetic drag material and offers up to 5 kg of drag pressure. Its star adjustment sits beside the compact bent handle, keeping the retrieve and drag controls together.
Both versions have an aluminium spool, a 2-bearing system for smooth operation and a one-piece reel foot for improved durability. Each weighs 300 g, has a 5.1:1 gear ratio and retrieves 64 cm of line per handle turn. The anti-reverse is a multi-stop system. Choosing the higher-capacity version does not change these listed specifications.
The C1-5500LC holds 245 m of 0.32 mm, 210 m of 0.35 mm or 175 m of 0.38 mm monofilament. Its braid capacities are 320 m of 0.29 mm, 240 m of 0.36 mm or 170 m of 0.41 mm line. Choose it when these capacities cover your setup.
The C1-6500LC holds 280 m of 0.35 mm, 230 m of 0.38 mm or 195 m of 0.42 mm monofilament. Its braid capacities are 425 m of 0.29 mm, 320 m of 0.36 mm or 225 m of 0.41 mm line. At the same listed weight, it offers more line reserve, for example 280 m rather than 210 m with 0.35 mm mono. This is the main selection difference if you need to pay out more line or retain a larger reserve.
Both versions are supplied without line and without a spare spool. Select mono or braid using the capacity figures for your chosen model and spool the reel before use. These are freshwater models with the handle on the right, so choose them only if right-hand winding suits your setup.
