These are the nicer looking blue finish reels in the Abu Garcia C series of round reels. While these claim to have the high speed gearing, in reality it is really a 6.3 to 1 or what is considered standard on most low profile reels. These are very smooth casting, and are built very similar to the C3 series. The drags are excellent and all they need is a little care, oil, and a dab of grease to keep working for years. These are centrifugal brakes and the adjustment knob needs only a slight amount of adjustment to get backlashes under control. The 4600 is the narrow spool model with the thumb bar making fast and accurate casts is quite easy and is very well adapted to bass fishing. The 5600 cannot be beat for line capacity and overall fishability for just about any fresh water fishing need.
