You will see various reviews I share on ABU product pages. I do this, due to the young people I constantly come in contact with that ask me questions on the water about why I fish, or use all ABU reels/rods. I have fished some 40+ years, I have always been dedicated to ABU and will remain so. With this said, go get a ABU Revo S, you will love it. For the price, you also won't beat it! Enjoy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would like to ask about the centrifugal brake system on the revo s low profile bait caster. Just want more info on what settings to use in what conditions. Can you use all six at once. Can you use a variety of both pitch and none pitch settings. Any additional info would be much appreciated.
P.s Have seen all videos on the subject through you tube and they don't seem to go indepth enough for me.
Thanks all.

I just got mine and I put 65lb braid on it and wow it casts great and feels great. I'm new to using baitcasters and I love this one! I started out with an older black max with the flipping switch on it and I never looked back. Abu is a great comp.

I broke down and purchased the new 3rd Gen Revo S and put it through the paces this past weekend. Being the owner of many of the Abu Garcia reels (last count 14) I am totally impressed.
I was totally surprised at the smoothness of the reel. I expected it to be noisier like my Skeet Reese and Lew's. (both good reels) But found it to cast smoother and reel with ease. No backlashes although I usually start out tight at first. As I loosened it up a bit the distance increased and still no backlash problems. I give it a "5" for Smoothness for sure.
Next although not fair, I compared it side by side with my MGX. Well, similar like going from the Olds to Caddy. The MGX outshone the "S", but hey, over twice the money...it better. "5" for price effectiveness.
And... the color match to my Veritas rod was impressive. I also like something that looks good too. "5" for appealability.
Would I recommend it to my friends... well... NO... I would have to say you won't be happy until you have 2 of them with different setups/line weights etc.
Thank you Abu Garcia for your quick response to the inquiry to a manual. Great people to work with.
Overall.. 100% a Happy Camper. FOR LIFE!

I can't say enough about the new Revo S. This thing is buttery smooth, casts a mile, the braking system is flawless and allows for a lot of customization out on the water. Pair this with the Veritas micro guide series and you have one mean looking, and deadly combo out on the water. Abu Garcia really created a gem with the new Revo S, so much so that I like it better than my Gen 3 STX! Buy this!
