This was my first Abu Garcia and haven't went back to another brand since. A great reel to learn on. Easy to use, light, had it for 3+ years and with only yearly cleaning and oiling, it should last for many more. Start here and you won't be disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

12lb Tiger
I went African tigerfishing. 6 days of propper torture. Made about 2000 casts that week.. and pulled out about 100lbs of tiger fish all in all.. This is by far the strongest freshwater fish pound-for-pound. It's fighting ability is about the same as a Dorado. Exept there is no fish of that size that hits a lure with that much force. Check the pic! The 24lb drag of the revo s makes it perfect for stopping strong fish like that. Great Reel.

ok i am 14 years old but one of them among the best i recieved this reel for Christmas of 2011 it was my very first revo . I was very satisfied with the smoothness of this reel it was smooth enough that their is no crick the reel but not smooth to where their waas no pull i looked at the sx, and stx they stretches to where when u would get around to the fifth rotation u would feel a bumb in the mechanism when reeling . Before this reel i owned the Black max which i recieved when was 8 it was a tremendous starter baitcasting reel for me i loved it caught a 10 pound largemouth bass off of it. so i recogmend this reel to any body purchasing their first revo.

Revo S series
Posted May 27, 2012
Buy far the worst baitcaster I've ever had in 35 yrs. of useing baitcasters this reel is the worst,side plate fell off and was losr,thumb bar broke and had to super clue it back tobether and now the line guide is sticking on the right side when reeling it in and all the line stays on the right side so now it's totally useless, a waist of $140.00 and it's only 2 yrs old!

You hear them all the time... stories of having bought a nice reel and then, when it mattered most, it fails in the clutch. Such is not the case with the Revo S.
Recently, the local stores of a national retail chain were getting ready to do inventory. As a result, they had a lot of their fishing inventory marked down to clearance pricing. One such item was the Abu Garcia Revo S, marked down to a price that I simply couldn't pass on. So, like and responsible angler, I bought it. Once home, I spooled it with 15# fluorocarbon and mounted it on an Abu Garcia Tournament grade rod. A couple of weeks later, I had the opportunity to use it in a fishing tournamanet.
I didn't catch any bass, however, I did hook into a rather large gar and the Revo S performed in typical flawless Abu Garcia style... never missing a turn of the crank.
Stood up to the gar and continues to serve!
Abu Garcia for life!

Still Serving
Posted March 11, 2013
This is an addendum to my original product review above...
The Revo S mentioned in the above review is still serving and going strong! I have continued to use it in bass fishing tournaments though it is now married to a 7'3" Vendetta medium heavy rod... still spooled with 15# fluorocarbon line, too. I have caught more fish on this reel than all of my other rod & reel combos put together! It's service has been so impressive that I just purchased another Revo S (there were two available but I could only swing the one).
If you have an opportunity to acquire one of these reels, I highly recommend you do NOT let the opportunity pass you by... you WILL regret it!
