But with the Revo SX, you’re going to find that it feels just about right as soon as you pick it up, so you’ll definitely minimize the time you need to take getting familiar. I’m a big fan of taking the time to get comfortable with your reel, whatever it is. You can focus on the fish you’ve got on the line and on putting yourself in the best position. Nothing juts out or gets in your way as you’re casting. This reel rests right up against the rod and that makes for a fantastic feeling from the angler’s perspective. This reel allows me to apply nice smooth pressure throughout the process of reeling in, which helps me do a better job of keeping my fish on the line. The gear system in here works really well and does exactly what it’s intended to do: help you get the most out of each and every crank. In the time I got to test this product, I don’t think I had a single fouled cast that could be related to the reel itself. I’ve got smooth action from my spool, 10 ball bearings that work perfectly, and a line feed coated in some sort of alloy that just makes it work perfectly. I’ve already talked about the brake system, but let me just underscore how smooth the casting is on this reel. Good, light packages like this one allow me to feel every little bump of tension on my line and to respond appropriately. The heavier a reel gets, the less feel I can display in my casting and when I’m keeping a fish on the line. This is the most important thing I’m looking for when it comes to any reel. The result is a reel that feels light in the hand but has no trouble even when lots of pressure is applied. The main parts are constructed of a very lightweight alloy, and no pieces are wasted in the system overall. The Abu Garcia Revo SX really makes great use of not much material in its body. The brake system applies good smooth pressure throughout my cast and lets me make the most of each throw. I’ve found it takes some time for me to dial in the exact settings I want on this reel, but once I’ve got them I’m ready to really let it rip. The system works great and you’ve got very easy access through the side panels if you want to make any adjustments. Abu Garcia has given us a top of the line centrifugal braking system in this reel without driving the price up too far, and that’s a game changer. Probably the one thing that stands out the most about this reel is the Mag Trax braking system. I quickly got this mounted and dialed in and I was ready to fish right away. With some of these reels, you’ll find there’ terribly complicated to work with or adjust, but the Abu Garcia Revo SX makes these tasks very easy. As you’ll see, I find the setup out of the box to be really strong, and the way it feels when I cast is just great.

Let’s take a closer look at the Abu Garcia Revo SX Baitcast Reel. This has historically been a great option for fishermen looking to get a really beefy reel without shelling out too much cash. Built tough with Abu Garcia’s traditional Swedish engineering, the REVO is ideal for nearly all freshwater applications, from casting crankbaits or spinnerbaits to pitching and flipping softbaits.The latest in the Abu Garcia Revo line has some serious updates. The STX also features the innovative Infini Spool II™ system, which is separated from the drive train, minimizes friction for optimal performance – even with the lightest tackle. In addition, the STX model features an Everslik™ coated pinion shaft and pawl, which dramatically reduces friction for enhanced casting while improving the durability of these components. The Linear Magnetic Brake™ system found on the SX and STX models allow anglers a wide range of adjustments to fine tune the reel for any application. The reel also is designed with aluminum components for light-weight performance and lasting durability. The tough REVO is packed with innovative features, including a Duragear™ oversized brass main gear for maximum cranking power and the innovative Carbon Matrix™ Drag System for incredible smoothness across all drag settings. Abu Garcia® is starting a revolution with the new REVO™ series of low-profile baitcast reels, the fastest low-profile reel Abu Garcia has ever designed.
