Fella's, my local tackle dealer called me and said my new Revo S's came in. Had to pick them up immediately. They are sweet. Very compact, lighter and a wider spool. They look awesome. They seem very smooth but I won't get to try them out until Friday. I picked up 3 of them to replace my Shimano Citicas. I'll let you know how they perform.

Awesome. The wider spool sounds good to me. Cant wait to hear how they perform.

Pics please!

I gotta wait until the 17th to get mine. Pics?

Pics please!

how come i can't see the pics

My fault BassMan....didn't make them public. Should be able to see them now I hope.

The reel looks awesome. I had preordered a STX on thehookuptackle and on the website it listed that the reels would ship Sept 2. On tacklewarehose it listed the reels not being available until 9/17? I'm not sure when I'll get the reel now but yours sure looks sweet. Let us know how the reel performs.

The Revo S will be my next reel, although the STX has been calling my name lately.

i preordered two STXs from THUP also. i emailed them this morning about the september 1 ship date and here's what they said:

The expected ship date was from Abu Garcia to their dealers. We spoke to Abu yesterday and we are expecting the reels next week, by the 14th at the absolute latest. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

The Hook Up

Hang in there Ryno, you might get them sooner. I ordered mine from my tackle guy last week and he got them quick. I've had to work the last couple of days but I'm sitting in my easy chair playing with the reels now. Hope to get them on the water this weekend.

Operation Revo S is done for me! Bought mine from BP online today.

I have 2 STX's Gen 2. I seriously doubt I will upgradet them for the new ones. These are sooooo smooth and sweet.

That would look sweet on a Veritas.

Good to hear they're starting to arrive. I just stopped my local tackle shop to see if my Gen3 STX has arrived yet. No joy, but hopefully soon.

Hope you enjoy your new reel.

bps is selling them like hotcakes online

Just heard from BPS. My Gen.3 SX has shipped.

d**n, haven't heard anything from thehookuptackle about my ordered STX. Wondering when I will even receive it.

My next reel will definitely have centrifugal brakes. My gen 2 SX is the last reel I will own that has mag brakes.

Crossing my fingers as mine should arrive today. Its being paired with a 7' medium micro guide Veritas.

Ive owned several in the past. I still have my Silver Max. I found they are much better suited as a pitching only reel than casting.

That's the beauty of the Gen3 STX. You get both types of brakes. Turn one or the other off if you don't like it. Or mix and match them to get the best of both worlds. Gen2 STX and Premier's have the same system.

Ordered a Revo S from BPS and took advantage of their 6 payment sale they have going on. Picked up a micro guide series 7' m/h veritas too. Gonna be sweeeeet.
