The C5 would be my choice, it has more bearings that keep the spool and drive gear in proper alignment. This will allow for longer more consistent cast and hold up better over the life of the reel. With proper yearly service this reel will last a lifetime.

The C4 is also very solid. The CB uses bushing instead of bearings and are not as smooth.

If you don’t need that much line the 5600 holds a good bit of line but is narrower and lighter making it more comfortable for a day of fishing.

These reels hold up well in saltwater also.

My 2 cents. Good luck.

either the C4 or the C5. the C4 has a higher gear ratio while the C5 has an additional bearing which won’t make much difference in casting. l’m curious too. do you need the higher capacity of the 6600? if you’re after bass, the 4600 holds 170 yards of 10lb line which is enough for any bass that swims. also, if you like ambassadeur reels, take a look at the “record” series. the best caster of the lot. a bit more money but you’re already planning to spend a hundred bucks. what’s forty more?
