I purchase the Revo Premier 2011 version because it was the top of the line Revo. On one of my fishing trips the windage adjustment dial broke off, rendering my reel useless. Fortunately, it was still under warranty and had it repaired.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

MGX power
I would just like to start off by saying i love ABU Garcia! but i have had a problem with a few of my reels (unfortunatly with all of my expensive reels- MGX- PRM) They sent me back my MGX no problems at all and their customer service is phenominal! I recently bought the PRM a few weeks ago and i was disapointed at the casting, it would make a loud noise 3 out of 5 casts. Also, the cast control know would not click when i was adjusting it, like on my MGX. I took it off and the parts were not sealed in properly. I just sent it back today with the recipt and hopefully i will get it fixed/replaced. I go to Arkansas Tech University (ATU) and im on the fishing team. After i get out of college i hope to be a pro and i will be repping ABUs the whole time! Love your reels and rods keep up the great work! ABU for LIFE
I would recommend this to a friend!

I do love this reel & hope I just have a bad one, when I have a good size fish on the reel slips. Abu Garcia please let me know how to fix this or should I send it back for a new one as it is still under warranty, I would like to buy a few more but I'm consern about this problem

I purchased 4 of the Premiers because of listening to others talking about how great they are. These reels don't cast far. I have several other types of Revos and other brands that will cast over twice the distance than these Premiers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Abu GarciaAbu GarciaAugust 20, 2012
We are sorry to hear about your casting issue with your Premier as this is not normal. The Revo Premier is outfitted with a Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Braking system that is specifically designed to cast a wide variety of baits. The IVCB braking system has 28 settings of braking power adjusted by the exterior dial. It sounds like you were casting a lighter lure and applied too much braking power. Next time your on the water, spend a couple of minutes adjusting the dial to fine-tune your cast. However, all Abu Garcia reels carry a one year warranty. We have already contacted our customer service department and informed them of your issue. A representative will be contacting you shortly on the email address you provided for this review. If you need to speak with a representative directly they can be reached at Tel: 1.800.228.4272. Thanks for informing us of your issue. We appreciate your support.
