Abu Garcia Revo SX review

Featured Replies

Hey guys, what's your thoughts on the Revo sx baitcast reel? Most importantly how good they cast...

I bought two 6.6:1 and I want to know how good they cast lighter crankbaits with this gear:

* 7'2" Shimano curado "crankbait rod"

* medium power-moderate action 

* #12 sunline sniper fluorocarbon 

* strike king kvd 1.5 squarebills

 *medium diving crankbaits

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I’ve been fishing a Revo Winch for a couple of seasons. I’m 110% satisfied with it. Satisfied enough to buy another. They may be built on the same platform.  And I think they are. I cast 3/8-5/8 oz. with it. 9/16 and 5/8 primarily being thrown. Lighter Shad Rap types I fish with a spinning set up meant  more for CB’s. 
 

I am by no means a power fisherman. Actually the complete opposite. Crankbaits have always been a big part of my fishing and I bought this to taking more serious deeper cranking. I’m using this on a Veritas Winch rod. I’m getting together another set up now. I have another new Winch reel but I have to go look at more rods. May buy the new Veritas Winch rod but would rather touch it first instead of buying it blindly. 

I have a couple. They are decent. For lighter baits I usually turn on 1/2 of the centrifugal brakes and leave the cast control fairly loose. 

When casting light baits they take a lot more thumb control than my diawas.
