I want to throw a variety of baits in varying wind conditons. I'm looking at 4600c4, 4600c5 mag, 5600ext-pro, ....???? Castability, distance, and control are primary factors.

I have a C4 5600 and it casts like a dream. It is my first bait caster though...

The 4600C5 is the same reel as C3.The extra two ball bearings are found on each side of worm gear.The C5 has the same 6 pin centrifugal brake as the C3 and C4.The exception to the C5 is that it has a magnetic cast control as well.Simply leave all 6 pins pushed in on the C5 and use the magnetic brake.All six pins come pushed in from the factoy anyway as well.The C5 is a better longer casting reel in any conditions and especially noticeable with light baits.If you favor palming the reel the mag brake adjustment does seem to get in the way and get moved up or down alot though,but I have no complaints.Go to Abu Garcia website and download $10 rebate for any reel $39 or up and go or call Cabelas and ask them to give you last months sale price of $69.99.I have ordered two more and got them for $59.99 each.

Walmart sells one I haven't seen anywhere else "The Rocket". Its orange and man for $70 its a hell of a reel. I had one for a while and it would cast a weightless senko 75-100ft easy. Had it for about 8 months before it and my falcon rod got jacked!

I love my ABU 5600 C4, that is a nice quality reel. Blue and gold, what else can you ask for. Also, the CL series of reels. If I had some extra $ laying around I would grab one of these http://www.abugarcia.com/prod.php?k=78517&sk=46555&p=PURRCN40%20(1115467) And if I had few more $ laying around I would grab a http://www.abugarcia.com/prod.php?k=78516&sk=46555&p=PUR5600EXT%20(1114386.

The Ambassadeur Records are very smooth. I think they have a rebate deal going now too. I've used a RCN40 and the 50 and they were the only round reels I've been able to pitch with in spite of the moving levelwind.

Garcia's top of the line round reels are the record series. I have a record 50 and two record 40's. They also make a record 60.
