I was one of the lucky few to have received this reel before it came out onto the market, and in the time I have had it, I have completely fallen in LOVE with this thing. The reels smaller profile makes it fit nicely in the hand, as well as makes it much much lighter than anything I've ever fished. The cast control system is fantastic, even in wind, and with smaller presentations, which is usually an issue with some of my other reels. The action is very very smooth, and the 7.1-1 gearing makes it lightning quick when tightening up on a fast hook set. The over all workmanship of this reel is exactly what I have come to expect of Abu Garcia, perfection. Not only is this reel super light, amazingly smooth, and extremely castable, this thing also looks the part, with the carbon fiber handle, and blacked out exterior, this thing says that it means business. I would highly recommend this reel to just about anybody, and especially the seasoned angler. I personally paired mine with a 7' medium heavy Veritas series rod, and it is an amazing combo. If you are looking for the absolute, most top of the line reel, look no further than the Revo MGX.
i've own revo PRM just about 3 weeks b4 i grabbed MGX as i wanted to have a second reel (light reel- REVO) for a back-up. i dont aspect MGX would be better than PRM beside her lightness but.......after use it, hmmm... wow!!! no issue on casting performance compared to PRM but here i wanna mention is...backlash FREE!! casting into headwind-no prob at all! a new braking system of MGX plays the role perfectly without sacrificing a casting distance. MGX is the best reel ever!!!!

The Revo MGX is by far the smoothest, and easy to use low profile reel I've fished. with It's nearly impossible to birds nest, and the drag is silky smooth. Maintainance is super easy as well....a basic cleaning takes less than 2 minutes & requires no tools. The first thing you'll notice is it's beauty, but as soon as you hold it, the only thought in your head will be "how did they make it so light?". And at the end of a day of fishing, you'll appreciate Abu Garcia's commitment to quality & ergonomics. I love this reel, and so will you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The REVO MGX is by far the best baitcasting reel on the market. From the minute you open the box you will be awed by how sleek it looks, but it fishes better than it looks. At 5.4oz you can fish all day without getting tired of casting. The drag is extremely smooth and constistant. If you like any of the other REVO's you will absolutely love the MGX.
At the first of the year I bought this reel becasue it was light as a feather and felt great!! Although once I got it lined and out on the water I couldnt seem to figure out why it was so costy and makes loud horrible noises, I can not say i like this real any more than any reel ive got(stx,sx, chronarch, curados). Personally I think all of my other reels are better. I feel i paid more for less.

I had the grand oppurtunity to win one of these Revo MGX this past August from Abu Garcia. I have now fished this reel 2 different days and I can tell you this is one smooth reel ! The light weight makes it a real joy to cast, your wrist and arm doesn't get tired and you have better control. Also, this thing casts so smooth, I never had any backlash or bird's nest using the reel for the entire 2 days I fished with it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who takes their fishing seriously. kudo's to Abu Garcia for again making a very sound product! Keep up the good work. Wingman !
I would recommend this to a friend!

So i hope your company will choose me try to out your new bait casfer it be a dream come true
