Merry Christmas!

Looking for a new cranking reel. Leaning towards the Revo Winch or another STX. Is the Winch more similar to the STX or the SX? I tried the SX a few years ago and was never a fan. Thanks

i think its more like the stx. have both, love them. fantastic crank bait reel.

Truthfully the 2nd Gen Winch is more similar to the Revo S. The 2nd Gen Winch uses pitch/centrifugal brakes and a single piece spool shaft as does the Revo S. The STX is a dual brake and SX is magnetic only, both use the infinini II spool.

The new 3rd Gen Revo Winch is more similar to a STX in the fact that it has the dual braking, but still uses a single piece spool shaft like the S.

I use a 2nd and the new 3rd gen Winch, they both are great reels for med to deep cranking. The Gen 2 is a bigger profile and heavier reel, but if you are using it on a 7'6" - 8' deep cranking rod it does not make much difference. The Gen 3 Winch is much lighter, smaller profile, sits nice on 7ft graphite cranking rods for medium divers and such.

great info. thanks! generation 3 it is.
