Need Help Picking Reel

Im looking to buy a new abu and i dont know whether to get a c3 ambassadeur or a c4 they both cost the same but the c3 comes with a Berkley fishing rod.  I like the thumb release and the higher gearing on the c4 but i would like to hear some opions.

Thanks

    What are you looking to use the reel for?

    I would go with higher gearing to burn the spinnerbaits but it could be a downfall when trying to pull bigger cranks. You will have to decide which you are going to do more of and go from there, but i can say that the thumb release is the only way to go with casting reels IMO, most other manufacturers only make thumb releases now.

    Is "free" Berkley fishing rod, worth sacrificing the qualities you prefer in the other reel?

    Decided to just go with another low pro reel and got a Shimano Citica 200e. I love round reels but this shimano is just a great reel.
