this is my first baitcaster reel, although I've used friends previously... i gotta say, my buddies spend big $$ on Lews & Pfeulefer etc but they can't touch my Abu!! Loving this reel. Need to buy a 2nd one for a Veritas MH rod i picked up. One question i have is, with this 2012 reel being so good, WHY change it in 2013??
Many years ago I bought the revo sx as my second baitcasting reel, the performance is phenomenal. This reel can cast any lure with any weight and sizes easy, retreiving is ultra smooth, the 11 ball bearings really does its job. put this reel on my vendetta rod makes it very balanced and comfortable combo, I love the ACS reelseat on the vendetta with softtouch, it feels like its made from heaven, also you wont even notice you're holding a 8.9oz reel, it just feel so light, so smooth. and I already recommended many of my fishing buddies to buy it, and they told me they really loving it. right now I only use Abu garcia products, currently Im having 2 Revo MGX, 2 STX, 3 SXs, and a revo elite IB,(P.S. Im not sure the new version of the revo sx with the new brake would change the casting performance of the reel, the linear magnetic brake is very precise with little ajustment, but we'll see)
i bought the revo sx left hand id have to say its one of the best reels Ive ever owned i have the verdict rod with it also an excellent product i have a few other bait casters but abu Garcia is the best i have owed it cast a mile reels in so smooth n whips up on the big fish just caught a huge northern pike with it today was a blast catching him with my revo will not go anywhere else for a bait caster thank you abu garcia
I have purchased 3 of the REVO'S. 2SXHS & 1 SX. Straight out of the box it took very little adjustments to cast a mile. I can't wait for the next generation to come out.
