I've used Abu Garcia products since I was a kid banging rods and reels around in small boats, and 4-wheeler racks to get to ponds, and creeks. As a teenager I continued to use the same 4500, 5000, and later 5500 models. When I started fishing tournaments, I added to my collection by buying older Abu Garcia reels at yard sales, and flea markets. This is the reel for me! As I watched the trend set by competitiors, I anxiously awaited a low profile offering from Abu. Then I heard the good news and the first reel I got my hands on was a REVO STX that a Sales Rep handed to me. I was fascinated, and in a trance! Since that day, I've bought (2) more, my wife has bought (3) REVO's and we continue to be an "ABU Family" with my 6-yr-old now starting on an older (gently used REVO). The STX, and the REVO family continue to evolve from a platform set years ago, and with effortless use, and maintenace, I highly recommend the STX, and any REVO for that fact, to be a staple in your bass fishing arsenal! You will be happy with your purchase, and can be a fishing item passed down to generations. They last that long! Keep up the great work, and new product offerings.
This was my first new baitcaster in 15 years and I will never get another brand of reel. From the drag to the way it fits in you hand it is a perfect reel. The high gear ration gets those fish on the shore quick and the smooth drag makes the fight that much more fun. I highly recommend getting one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have 2 Revo STX's and just purchased a 3rd. These reels are great. Drags are very good. Reels are compact and easy to palm. Highly recommend.

Bought this reel to be my flipping and pitching reel and WOW this thing is tough and has an awesome drag. Smooth reeling and trouble free.
