What a great reel. Paired it with 7 ft medium Veritas with 30lb braid for topwater rig. Casting into the wind is no problem and no backlashes. I can't wait to buy the next one
I bought a revo sx about 6 months ago and it has totally changed my perspective. Befor this reel I never really enjoyed fishing to its full potential. No backlashes, no winding or noisy gears, practacly no maintainance. I dont think you could screw this reel up if you tried. I have this reel set on a abu garcia veritas rod and I am in shock everytime I pick it up. Thanks abu garcia for a high quality set up. Bar none to any other competing brands on the market. If it dosent say abu garcia you might as well put it down.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great reel, ultimate sustainability, and powerful drag all in one. I'm a typical average fishermen who relies on his tools when fishing. The revo sx does just that, from large mouth bass to smallies, the revo sx has no challenger. I've even caught pikes and muskies on this reel, each posed a serious threat to any reel except this one. Pair this reel up with the Abu Garcia vendetta rod and you have a match set for nearly any game. I Highly recommend this reel, feels great in your hand. Abu for life!

I acquired this reel in a trade a couple months ago. After months of abuse this reel is still going strong. One of the best attributes to this reel is how smooth it is. No reels in this price range are as smooth as the Revo SX. The only thing that I feel can be improved with the reel is the breaking system is very finicky. Overall I am very satisfied and will buy again
