The Rocket is a free-spooling reel with only a centrifugal brake system and no magnetic backup. This design appeals to experienced casters seeking maximum casting distance, as the spool runs completely free once released.
The Ambassadeur Rocket requires casting skill to prevent overruns (backlashes) since it lacks magnetic braking. Experienced casters can achieve exceptional distances, but beginners should start with reels featuring dual-brake systems.
The 6500 size and 7 kg maximum drag make it ideal for medium-sized freshwater predators like pike and bass. The centrifugal brake system excels for distance casting in open water.
The recovery rate of 60 cm per turn means each full rotation of the handle retrieves 60 cm of line. The 5.3:1 gear ratio balances line retrieval speed with cranking power for efficient fishing.
No, the Ambassadeur Rocket comes as an empty spool. You will need to spool it with monofilament (200 m / 0.40 mm) or braided line (300 m / 0.30 mm).
The simple centrifugal brake system requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning, lubrication of the 3 ball bearings, and occasional drag adjustment will keep it performing optimally.

The legendary Ambassadeur Rocket is a free-spooling centrifugal baitcasting reel built for experienced anglers who demand maximum casting distance. With no magnetic brake system, the spool runs completely free, delivering the ultimate performance for long-distance casts.
The Rocket's defining feature is its 6-pin centrifugal brake system without magnetic backup. This simplicity allows the spool to run freely, demanding skill from the caster but rewarding with exceptional distance. It's the reel for purists who value control and freedom over convenience.
Built with 3 ball bearings and an aluminum spool, the 6500 reel provides smooth, consistent casting. The 5.3:1 gear ratio and 60 cm retrieve per turn make line retrieval efficient, while the 7 kg maximum drag handles freshwater predators like pike and bass effectively.
If you're an experienced caster seeking a reel that prioritizes distance and freedom over magnetic braking, the Ambassadeur Rocket is your match. The lack of electronic backup means you control the spool entirely, and that control is rewarded with distance potential unmatched by dual-brake systems.
