So where is the Revo LT made? I haven't found any righties for the price you quoted (did not check Rakuten) but found them for around $200.00. It's a great looking reel. Is it comparable in size to a 50 size Shimano or bigger?

 

I have been casting the 1/8oz Rapala Husky Jerk with a Conquest 50 with an Avail Spool/Loomis CR721 and I have been very pleased with the distance that I was getting. At least 60ft. With the right rod, I know that it will do even better.

 

For a Shimano 50, Curado, Scorpion, Core etc, I think that you will have problems throwing the little Husky Jerk with the factory spool. Having the proper rod would help but the heavier spool would work against you.

They have lefties in stock but no righties.

I just saw that Digitaka says "A few quantity ask in advance".

Are the Revos a quality reel?

Im not an abu fan, but for the money the abu LT is just about the best deal out there for a factory bfs reel...

I am always wanting something. It never ends! LOL

I also have a Brenious on my mind and I would need to investigate this reel a little more as it would be the first non Shimano baitcaster that I have ever bought.

I hear ya John, im a shimano nut but im playing around with megabass/daiwa just to switch it up.

 

I love the 50 series shimano platform so much that i find myself comparing every new reel i pick up and always seem to be let down, lol.

Pick up an avail microcast spool and your choice of shimano 50 reels.

I have always thought that if I ever did buy a reel besides a Shimano, it would be a Daiwa and the new Alphas is very sweet and affordable.

I have 2 Yumeya spools and 1 Avail spool now.

JP Angler has righties.. looks like at the moment they are $164 http://jpangler.com/index.php/reel/abu/revo-lt.html  Im sure these are made in Korea with the other Revos.

Unless I am reading it wrong, they are out of righties.

I think you are right bro, are you a lefty?

That is no problem because other people have it. Thanks

Upside down spinning reel!

 

Im surprised no one mentioned the abu 1500 or 2500. There are guys that bring new meaning to supertune. Not all super tuning is the same. You can go on YouTube and watch an antique abu free spool for literally over 3 minutes! I have a highly upgraded 4600c that has 8 bearings.

I think you can get a right hand Alphas SV for $200 from Japan Lure Shop??

I have seen those and they are very tempting.

How well does the Alphas sv hold up to braid and heavier line? I know some spools on finesse baitcasters recommend you don't use braid or even fluoro on some.

Alphas SV is good with braid. 40 lb is probably the highest I would run for capacity's sake.

Personally that doesn't make sense to me.  What kind of line would you use?  Fluoro, mono and co-polymer lines are so much alike I don't see what possible difference it would make between those 3 types of line.  Please don't tell me it is because fluoro has a lot less stretch than the other 2 types because I call bull on that.  Sure some have less stretch than others, but none come close to braid.

I'm not real sure why. I remember seeing a finesse baitcaster "showdown" on A. Sava's blog or website maybe. One of the spools on one of the reels was so light the manufacturer recommended only low # test mono. The way the spool was built to save weight apparently made it structurally unsound for anything else. I'll look it up. It's pretty in depth. The reels were very high end though. Nothing a non enthusiast would think about buying.

Check the rest of the site if you want to some AWESOME custom rods as well. He does very nice work.

Thanks.  An interesting read.  However, it didn't say not to use fluorocarbon line.  The T3Air did specify fluoro and mono had to be within a certain range or it could warp the spool.  Also lure weight is limited for the same reason with that reel.

Chronarch 50E. As the others have said though, use a rod light enough to throw light baits though by checking it's ratings and how it loads.

Haha.  I've recently joined the 2500c club this past winter thanks to ebay.  I can honestly say that with only a shallow spool (avail 2520) and mag assembly (two set side by side), that it blows away any of my stock revo 3's; it doesn't even have the air bfs bearings in it either. 

 

Anyways, question about your 4600c: 

Without handle bearings is it levelwind x 2, idler gear x 2, spool x2, tension knob x1, and IAR?

I've done away with all my 4000 sizes except for one setup as mentioned prior without the tension knob; it's the separate spool axle design.
