Ambassadeur 3500C

Introduced only in 1984 and 1985 to replace the 2500C, it has the new palming sideplate design that was standard among reels made from 1980. ABU's intentention was probably to give all its reels (3500C, 4600C, 5600C and 6000C) the "same look". It has the same capacity as the 2500C and shares very similar design concept in its mechanism.

However, this reel was considered a disappointment as it does not cast as well as the 2500C. This is due to an inherent design fault which does not allows the spool to be supported freely on its ball bearings.
