I purchased two revo sx last summer. One 6.4 to 1 ratio and the other 7.1 to 1. The 6.4 to 1 works great and I would highly recommend it. The 7.1 to 1 had a problem with the thumb bar and wouldn't take up line after my first trip. Bass Pro replaced it with another 7.1 to 1. It worked fine for a couple of months than the same thing happened. I am a tournament fisherman and depend on my equipment and this reel totally let me down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Let me start off by saying I'm a big abu fan and believe I just received a faulty reel. It's. A sexy reel with great features but this is a noisy reel. Feels like it was not properly lubricated at the factory. Very annoying for an expensive reel. Please take care of this. Thanks

Not smooth at all. When I'm telling in a spinner bait it feels like I've got a stump on the end of the line. I think I may have got a faulty reel.
