I own 9 Abu reels and I love everyone of them 7 are Revos I have a 1st gen premier and I'm still using it today the durability of these reels is second to none. I recently purchased the 3rd gen STX and as I expected I love it. If you dont own any Revos I highly suggest you go out and get some. ABU FOR LIFE!!!

To fix the thumb bar issue
Posted May 7, 2013
Put oil or lube on the sides where the thumb bar goes up and down, once it's on, slide the thumb bar up and down and just keep doing it until it's fixed. I had this problem with 2 of my 3rd gen revos. And this fixed both of my reels. I hope that helps all of you guys!

I just got my new Abu Garcia Premier in the mail and for some reason the brake system dial is stuck and won't budge. I am overseas in the military and waited a while to get the reel in the mail just to get one with a stuck brake system dial. I looked at the instructions to see if there was something I was missing as to why the dial would not move but saw nothing. Did I just get a dud reel?? I am very disappointed as I was really looking forward to using this reel soon in Korea but looks like it's not going to happen. I used to use Abu Garcia reels 20 years ago but kept having problems with the reels falling apart quickly so I changed brands. I wanted to give them another shot as I had heard good things about the Revo reels but again I have bad luck with Abu Garcia. Please advise if I'm doing something wrong as I have never had this issue with any of my other reels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

SX and the Veritas
I just purchesed a Revo3 Premier and I am absolutly blown away!! I made the transition from spinning to baitcasting with the the Revo S-L over the summer, and I loved it so much that after 4 months I up graded to the Revo SX-L. I was really impressed, everything I loved about the Revo S was made WAY better in the SX! It really took my fishing to the next level. Knowing now how amazing the SX was, I decided to step up to the Premier, and it was the even more incredible than I thought it would be! This 3rd generation of Revo's are turely amazing, if you don't own one... you need to! The Revo Premier is by far the lightest, smoothest, and all around most amazing reel I have ever fished! Point is.....if your still fishing a spinning reel because you like to reel with your left hand, do your self a favor; go get a left handed Revo, and prepair your self to be amazed!! Abu Garcia.......FOR LIFE!!
