This reel is a brute, and I mean that in the best way. It is a big reel, has huge line cap, and a drag that is super strong and smooth all day long. Even though it is big, it is designed so you can palm it easily.Always comfortable in my the hand. I have the model 51. It casts a country mile, much farther then you would expect for this big of a reel.. The reel is very smooth, except when casting it is extremely noisy. Rarely does it backlash, and when it does it's not because of the reel. The casting control and brake are great. As is the pitch brake. Highly recommended except for the noisy casting.
If youre having problems with noise during the cast, you may need to give your reel a lube job. That may solve the issue. Just a suggestion.

Throwing heavy bucktails and twins all day is alot of work. The Winch has so much power with the lower gear ratio, it makes a 10 hour day on the water so much easier. I use it for all of my bucktail fishing as well as crankin in topwater globes and creepers. A "must" for any muskie fisherman.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this Revo whinch as a combo from BPS w/w a cranking rod. I would highly recomend that if you whant to through big crankbaits this is the reel you must have to do it. You can chuck them a mile and reel all day long and not hurt at the end of the day. I had a small problem with the reel towards the end of the season. I called Abu and sent the reel back and within 1-2 weeks they had sent me a new one. Great reel and awsome customer service Revo for life.Thanks Chris
