3 Uses Broke

I received this as a gift during Christmas. I have just started using this reel the past couple of months. I have used it a total of 4 times. No hard ware or anything and today the stem broke on me. I hooked into a 4lb bass and it snapped. Needless to say I am extremely upset! Spending $250 on a reel that Abu promotes as being extremely strong. I loved the feel and how light it was however it is not durable at all! Do not believe the ads that showcase it as being strong, IT IS NOT! I have $30 reels I have owned for years and have never had an issue. I spend $250 on a reel and it breaks after 4 uses. I had another Abu reel break last season. Their quality has gone way down! This is coming from a loyal Abu Garcia person. I have spent almost every rod and reel in their spinning lineup. Since I didn't purchase the reel, I know I will have to pay for the service which is again very disapointing!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good morning - we are very sorry to hear that you had an issue with your Revo Premier spinning reel as what you describe is definitely not normal. Your reel may have been damaged during shipping/in-store/during transport ultimately causing the failure when under load. No worries as we are here to help and will get you back to fishing. All Abu Garcia reels carry a 1 year warranty and a representative will be happy to help. Please reach out to our customer service team at 1.800.228.4272 and a representative will assist you with a warranty claim. Have a great week and we look forward to getting your issue resolved.

As frustrated as I was with my reel breaking, Abu Garcia support really shined! I was sent a replacement in less than a week. I really hope this reel holds up but wanted to post another comment about the top quality support I received. Thank you.

I switched to Abu Garcia reels last year with the Revo SX....amazing product. This spring I finally managed to get out and give my new Revo priemier spinning reel a torture test and as usuall this reel performed flawlessly!!!
Would I recommend...... yes!!!!! I have upgrade no less than five of my old reels to Abu Garcia products and will continue to outfit all my new current rods to Abu!!!!!
Now to get Abu to build an outstanding fly reel!!!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

My stem broke on the hook set of a 14" bass. Had it just over a year so it's out of warranty. $250 reel. $100 for the part and shipping.

I bought two of these reels last year and they are the best thing I own, including my shimano sustains.They are so precision like and expensive looking.(because they are) They match my verdict rods which are so sensitive.
I would recommend this to a friend!
