Hi all,

 

I am having a problem with my brakes on my Revo S and I was wondering if anyone had some advice for me. I am very proficient with bait casters and I like to keep my reels loose to get as much distance on my casts as possible. I set all the centrifugal brakes off on my Revo S. It worked great until I noticed that my casts weren't as far because somehow the brakes were turned back on as I was casting. Does anyone have any advice for me on how I can keep my brakes in the off position. Please let me know what you think.

 

Thanks!

That appears to be a common problem with the new Revo S reels.

Agreed, I would send it back for servicing. If you still have the receipt return it. Having had the same problem with both of the 3rd gens I would stay away from them. The gen 2's work just fine, I would go back to them until they figure out the Gen 3's.

I've seen the posts about this but haven't seen it first hand. If you're sure the tabs were snapped into place by all means swap it.

Swapping it will help for a little bit, then it will happen again. Bee through it already myself.
