Hey guys, I just visited a local tackle shop and discovered this reel. Seems to be a great reel at a great price. Just wondering if any of you have used an Abu Revo S and how did you think it performed?

I am curious as well.  I have the SX-HS and love it!  I am curious to know what the S is like after a season.

I would not hesitate in a minute to pay $100 for that reel, or even the SX at $150.  Buying those 2 reels has really made fishing much more enjoyable.  Go for it

I've had mine for several months now and love it.  Well worth the money IMO.

My only beef with the S is opening and closing the sideplate, otherwise I love it.  But normally its 3 in and 3 out so I dont have to do it that often.

I agree with Pond Hopper.  The only disadvantage i've discovered is the side plate.  Luckily I haven't had to change mine since i've had it, but if you like to constantly tinker with your reels I could see how this one could be frustrating.

Thanks for your help guys.  

i would just spend 50 more dollars for the sx

Check the forums and Ebay.  You can pickup a Revo S for under $90 if you're not in a hurry and a Revo SX for $120 or less.

Same here, I hate the VBS

I've got a pair of Revo S reels I got 1 year old used.  Seriously, I can't tell the difference between them and a new one.  Still silky smooth and functionally perfect.
