Mind you I have never tried any other brands and have been fishing Abu Garcia for many years. Started with an Abu BlackMax in 6:2:1 and then bought another BlackMax 6:4:1, well I decided the I would treat myself to an early Christmas present a few months back. Purchased my Abu Garcia Revo SX 7:1:1 and paired with a new 7ft MH Veritas microguide and love it. Super light-weight Revo with very durable and light-weight Veritas, perfect combo for an angler on a budget. Great casting distance and smooth reeling. Definitely recommend this reel for anyone on a budget.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have always been a big fan of Abu and I've never used any other brand in my life! Recently I looked at my Silvermax and thought I should step it up. So I bought the Revo SX. It was well worth it! It's smoother, more palmable, casts to the other side of the lake, and its ONLY 6.6 ounces! I have reeled in a 36in pike with no problem. I will stick to the Revo "For Life". Thank You Abu Garcia!!!
The Abu Garcia Revo SX30 HS Baitcast Reel was astounding! It outperformed any other baitcasting reel i have owned or used with its superb smoothness and superior quality put into it's drag and braking system. This is why I give the Abu Garcia Revo SX30 HS Baitcast Reel 5 stars!
I would recommend this to a friend!

small and light weight
I received my Abu Garcia Revo SX HS, and immediately attached it to the rod I bought just for it. It hugged the rod like a dream. It is small and light weight, but still has a nice spool capacity. It is a beauty to look at, and my brother named it, “the Nightmare” because of the colors on the reel, and the fear it brings to the fish. Smooth as cream right out of the box, with nice level of lube (sometimes you need to add after you unbox). The tune up was easily taken care of, and the brakes setting was simple. For those of you who have read reviews about the difficulty of adjusting this reel, have no worries. Simply set the brake at zero, adjust the tension knob to proper setting, then re set the brakes to where you like them starting a max working way to proper brake level( often people do not do tune in this fashion, and wonder why they have a problem). The spool capacity is nice for a reel of this size, and spins perfect on its bearings. What I did not like about this reel(and other Abu reels), was the plastic tension knobs. After using these reels over time, they wear out and need to be replaced. They are cheap though, and replacing them is a breeze. Another thing was the clutch bar. It is a little stiff, and makes it harder to engage with the pad of your thumb. With getting used to I found it not to be that much of an issue. The last thing I didn’t like, and which gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, was the little play between the gear box and handle. It isn’t much and shouldn’t discourage you from buying this reel. After many years of fishing with Abu spinning reels, I am happy to switch from another casting brand to Abu, for my bass fishing needs.
