I won this reel last year. I was concerned with it since I never used a bait caster before. Well it is very easy to use, I can't believe how nice it feels casting and reeling in. Very Smooth. I caught a couple 18" large mouth bass and this reel handled them with no problems. I would highly recommend this reel to anyone. Top Quality reel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

the MGX is by far the best reel ive ever fished! i Picked one up about a month and its amazing. It out casts reels twice its price, its smooth, fits in your hand like it was molded for you personally. Yes it does come loaded with grease but they all do just for protection during shipping/retail. I love the quick oil access panel. The MGX only has 12 lbs of drag but its great for most applications but I still turn to my Premier for heavy cover. I did have it paired up with a Villain but unfortunatly it snapped just below the wrap of the top eye. its now on my 7' med. Veritas with the micro guides and i love it! you can cast all day and have little to no arm/wrist fatigue, its so light and well balanced you can barely tell your holding it!!! If you have been thinking about it, go for it... you wont be dissapointed. my personal opinion however it go with the Veritas, the Villain is a light sensitive rod but the Veritas has more backbone and the micro guides are great.
I purchased the Revo SX last winter and am so pleased with the great performance. I recently purchased the MGX and I'm blown away. The SX is great but the MGX is unbeatable! Honestly, this reel casts further and smoother than any reel I've laid my hands on. Throwing a 1/8 oz jig is nothing for the MGX. It's a pretty penny, but it's worth every cent. I am more pleased with this reel than any other product I've ever used. Abu Garcia continues to keep with the highest standards and is nothing short of the best!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This hands down has been my go to reel, I wish I had two of them. I prefer is over any of my quantums or shimanos. I would use just this reel on my boat if it were a little cheaper. Great product its worth the money.
