C3 has level wind. CT has no level wind which is the one suitable for beach casting. You might try a search of the forum as there has been discussions about this before.

Yeah its a casting reel, I have the CT model, fairly new and have to return it with a small problem with the mag. They do cast well and are easy to get the hang of.

what's a competitive price to pay for a ABU Sports Mag 6500C3 here? I'm looking for my first multiplier reel, so I need something forgiving.

It's on henry's new site here for €143, worth it????

The level wind is usually quoted as 6500c3 though theres a cs at the end also. The non-level wind is of course 6500c3 ct. Check the angling mags for best price. The abu reals from veals are here:
