I bought this reel in October 2011. By December 2012 it was completely seized up. I do a lot of fishing (here in NZ) but I assiduously wash the reel every time after use. I was very disappointed because the reel is fantastic to fish with. Superb for casting out from the boat and good fast action for retrieving. The one feature it lacks is an alarm which I would have found useful, but I have gotten accustomed to not using it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

hooked into a few tautogs with the new revo inshore, and it worked wonders, fighting these fighters with no problem.. also hooked into a red drum while togging, and the revo paired with heavy action villian, out performed my other reels. it also suprised my friends, and they all now own one... one problem is, i just wish they made it in left hand, it will make it so much easier for me.... great reel, and i am lookin foward to getting the NACL next!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello - we are glad to hear you are enjoying your new Revo Inshore & Villain...sounds like both are performing above your expectations. While we don't currently have the Inshore available in a left hand retrieve - we are assuming this is why you rated it 3 out of 5 stars - the NaCls are now available in a left handed retrieve in both the 50 & 60 sizes. Thanks for the support and have a great week.

I would LOVE it if they made this for lefties too, the toros are great but are more than what i need. Maybe one day!

I've been looking for a baitcaster that could handle the saltwater and I finally found the dream. It's a very good reel and has performed like no other. I wish it was not so expensive because I would be buying another for my wife. Maybe Abu Garcia can help me out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This line of Revo reels made me get rid of every Curado I owned, I fish salt water for calico bass and halibut, and these reels are fabulous in that environment, the curados failed the salt water test, the only negative and it's not that important, it really doesn't have the 20lbs of drag that it claims to have.... great job !!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought the latest version of the Revo Inshore. I was a big fan of Shimano Calcuttas and Curados. No More. The drag is incredible for a small lo-profile reel. I winched a big redfish to the boat with ease. The reel sits down on the rod so low it's like you are pointing a finger when you cast. The drag star and the backlash control are literally right under your thumb. The crank has been inset so there is minimal torque during the retrieve when handling a fish. The reel goes from a cork and bait setup to a hard bait with little fuss. Shimano might as well lay off employees now. When the word gets around about this reel, Shimano is 1st loser on the water.
