just purchased the stx and its my first baitcaster infact, ive never even attempted to cast a baitcaster before in my life. i was nervous at 1st but after a little thumb pratice from my couch i went out to make my 1st cast. with the mag break on max and the cent on 3 i made about a 20 yard cast. after that i slowly turned the mag break down and after 15 mins i have the mag break half way off. you really can feel the magnetic break kick in at the end of the cast. casting is a dream and cant wait to use it all summer. and i still havent had backlash ! i got the 8.0:1 gear ratio for spinnerbaits and man does this thing burn. covers water like no other.

Great reel!!! Had to watch a couple videos on youtube to figure out how to set the internal brakes but since I got them set to my preference it has been nothing but smooth sailing and fast line reelin'!

Gen 3 revo stx
Posted July 2, 2013
I just purchased my gen 3 stx about 2 weeks ago at bass pro in Maryland got home put line on oiled it and set it perfect for what I'm usually throwing with it, cast perfect. Next day went to a local pond and cast out and experienced a screeching noise and didn't cast as far but I still had the same bait and setup as I used the day before. Then I went home oiled it and took it on the water the next day and it still did it and it also started kind of locking up while I was reeling in. Very disappointed in the reel and for how much it cost it just shouldn't do that. So if anyone could help me on what to do with it please do

I was really excited when I got this reel. Took it out and after a few casts, the reel would not re-engage and just free spooled. I took the reel back and exchanged it thinking it was just a one time thing. I then took the 2nd reel out and low behold it does it again. Now the reel is at my local reel shop waiting on parts on a product that should have been test better before selling to the public. I do like the reel and I hope it gets fixed and work like it is intended to do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

it would have worked if you would have tightened the drag up,i have grabed many reels and they dont work till you turn up the drag,i think all reels come with the drag all the way loose and you can turn the crank and the spool wont turn

Same problem. I'm from europe and we haven't service in our country. Sorry to say, I don't like shimano, but never had problems like this with it.
