PR-5500BE and PR-6500BE are right-hand retrieve models, while PR-6501BE is left-hand retrieve. At 0.32 mm, monofilament capacity is 220 m for PR-5500BE and 290 m for either larger model. Choose the hand first, then compare the capacity for your line diameter. All retrieve 66 cm per turn at 5.3:1.
No. Every variant is supplied without pre-spooled line or a spare spool. Capacities are specified for both monofilament and braid, so choose your line type and diameter and spool the reel before fishing.
The six-pin centrifugal brake controls the spool during casting. The Carbon Matrix™ drag controls line release under load and is adjusted with a star, with a maximum drag of 6.8 kg on every variant. They perform different jobs, so the casting brake is not the adjustment for fighting a fish.
These are round baitcasting reels specified for freshwater, so use a baitcasting rod rather than a fixed-spool spinning setup. PR-6500BE is explicitly described for casting and trolling predator lures, including pike. The supplied evidence does not establish saltwater suitability or a lure-weight rating.

The Ambassadeur® Pro Rocket BE is a Swedish-made, round baitcasting reel for freshwater lure fishing. Its six-pin centrifugal brake controls spool rotation during the cast, while the Carbon Matrix™ drag handles line release during the fight. The black edition combines aluminum construction with an aluminum spool.
Four stainless steel ball bearings and one roller bearing provide five bearings in total. The synchronized level wind distributes line across the spool, and the extended bent handle provides more leverage when winding. Instant Anti-Reverse prevents backward handle rotation. All three variants have a 5.3:1 gear ratio and retrieve 66 cm per handle turn, so the choice between them does not change the stated retrieve rate.
The carbon drag is adjusted with a star and has a maximum drag of 6.8 kg. This fighting drag is separate from the centrifugal casting brake. Pair the reel with a baitcasting rod rather than a fixed-spool spinning setup. The supplier also explicitly describes PR-6500BE for casting and trolling predator lures, including pike.
PR-5500BE has right-hand retrieve and reel size 5500. PR-6500BE also has right-hand retrieve, but its size-6500 spool holds more line at the same diameter. PR-6501BE has left-hand retrieve with the same stated size 6500 and line capacities as PR-6500BE. Choose between the two larger-capacity versions by the hand you use to wind. The stated reel weights are 326 g for PR-6500BE and 325 g for PR-6501BE. No reel weight is supplied for PR-5500BE.
Monofilament capacities are 270 m at 0.29 mm, 220 m at 0.32 mm and 155 m at 0.38 mm for PR-5500BE. For PR-6500BE and PR-6501BE, they are 355 m at 0.29 mm, 290 m at 0.32 mm and 205 m at 0.38 mm.
Braid capacities are 285 m at 0.29 mm, 215 m at 0.36 mm and 150 m at 0.41 mm for PR-5500BE. For PR-6500BE and PR-6501BE, they are 380 m at 0.29 mm, 285 m at 0.36 mm and 200 m at 0.41 mm. Compare the capacity for your chosen line type and diameter, rather than treating reel size as a line-length specification.
All variants are supplied without pre-spooled line or a spare spool. Select and spool your own monofilament or braid before use. The supplier specifies freshwater use, not a saltwater application.
