QUESTION: Okay here we go.          Ambassadeur 4600c. Quantum pf200c ambassadeur 521xltplus. Shimano bantam 10x abugarcia with gold trim magnetic brake control dial on left side no other writing on this reel

Answer
Hi Duane,

The 4600c and Bantam 10x are 5.3:1.

The 521 XLT plus and the PF 200C are both 6.3:1.

I don't know what that other Abu Garcia is but if its also from that era I'd say that I'd be about 90% sure that it is also 5.3:1.

Those are some classics and there are a lot of people still using them.  

Good fishing!
