Recently purchased a Revo Inshore and it failed on me the first trip out. The "spool release" button broke and would not engage the spool (I would reel in, but the spool would not turn). This occurred after ~20 casts. I exchanged the reel, like-for-like, as I know this reel is well-engineered. The customer service/fishing specialist employee at the store was very surprised that the reel has experienced the failure. I fished with my new Revo Inshore today and I fished it hard with no issues. Hopefully it will continue to hold up. When you pay good money for a reel, you expect perfect performance. While it's not perfect, I expect quality performance going forward. I also own a 3-year Revo S and it had done me well so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

22 in speck...no worries
Yesterday I finally was able to make it out to wade fish at Ship Island and try out my Revo Inshore with braided line. It was a little intimidating with the braided line considering the problems I have had in the past with other reels knotting up, and wasting a great deal of time trying to fix them. This reel performed excellent, even when I fouled several casts (mostly due to the wind) it was very forgiving and quickly corrected unlike other baitcasters. Also the audible "drag clicker" is a great feature in making quick adjustments when your "hooked up".

I recently moved to FL and decided to purchase a combo for bass and trout. I purchased a St Croix Legend Xtreme rod and wanted a light salt safe reel to use. I've owned a couple Quantum energy saltwater reels for years but were never satisfied with their performance. This reel fits the bill, I'm very happy and may buy more.

58" Red Fish on a Revo Inshore
My review title says it all. I use 8 of these reels for work which is guiding fishing trips in the Galveston Bay Complex. My customers are NOT gentle with my reels and I ONLY rinse the reels off after every trip. I use these reels 7 days a week during the summer! With that being said, I have not had to do anyting other than put a few drops of oil on them every once in a while. I started using the Inshores right when they came out on the market. I have since turned many customers and guide buddies onto these. After 3 years of use, I had a reel repair guy break them down for me and all he could say was "Wow!" He could not believe how well they had help up with very little maintenance. I hope this review will help any fellow fisherman who are on the proverbial "fence" about purchasing an Inshore. I really like the new Inshores and will be working a few into the line-up this summer.
