Anyone have any reviews on the Abu Garcia Revo Rocket? I have a Pflueger Patriarch an like it a lot. Then I bought an Abu Garcia Revo SX last year and love it. It casts about 10 yards farther than my Flueger, the problem is that it is a slow gear ration. So now I need a fast reel for my frog rod. I was looking at the Abu Garcia Revo Rocket. It's got a great gear ratio. Fast to pull fish in or your lure when you want to get it back to the boat quick. Not cheap though, but what do you do.

 

 

Anyone have any reviews, thoughts, or experience with the Abu Garcia Revo Rocket?

Here is one:

I really like my Revo STX, but an extra 100$ for an extra 4 IPT over the Revo STX-SHS doesnt seem worth it.

I just got one.  I have not fished with it yet, in the process of packing and moving.  But, if you search this forum, i know there was a review somewhere.  They are sweet looking!  If you search the internet, you can find them cheaper.  Good luck!

Cool. I think the Revo line is prob a great line, I hope this reel matches up.

What is 4IPT?

 

"Inches per turn"

 

The revo STX - SHS "Super High Speed" has a 8.1:1 ratio with 33 Inches per turn of the handle while the rocket has a 9:1 ratio and 37 inches per turn of the handle. I just didnt feel that 4 inches per turn is worth 100$.
