Hey gus I am about to get a couple of new reels and I am a die hard Abu fan, but I can get an Energy PT for around 80-100 after rebate, are they any good?  Not replacing any of my Abu's, just need another setup.  any input helps.  Thanks

I have two of each, the PT's are good, but the new Pro Maxes cast better IMO but arent quite as smooth. I actually like the Quantum Codes better than the PT's

Is the Pro Max one of the new cheaper Revo models?  

I had a Quantum Energy PT for about a week and then got a Revo STX and Premier and had to sell the PT because it wasn't in the same league as the Revos.  The Revo STX can be found on Ebay for about 135.  I think you can get an SX for even cheaper though and that might put you closer to the Quantum PT price.

If your such a diehard Abu fan then why not look into the Revo's much better reels than the PT's

Just my .02¢  

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!!  

the Revo's much better reels than the PT's

lets see i had 3 old green curados ,2 pinnicles, 1 citica,a trion that was used ,used my friends daiwiaa few hrs  and ya i suppose i can say that i tried um all  who knows what else OBVOISLY they didnt catch my attention to remember,,, well at least the BIG 2 that i compare to my revos now ,I still love my round reels C3,s C4,s C5,s pro max's ,black max's, etc and umm fishing now for 25 yrs i can truley say that ABU REVO,s are really the epitimy  of REEls worldwide

I have two Revo SX's and love them both and a promax and am impressed with it, I was just wondering about the Energy PT's, but since no one gave them a real good response, I think that I will just pick up a couple of Revo S's for two more setup's.  Thanks everyone.  I guess that I just had to get some help when I caught myself thinking about buying a reel other than an ABU, momentary lapse in judgement.

Thanks again

If you're patient sometimes you can get a SX for the price of S on ebay.  Pick your dealer safely and you should be ok.  I'd go for the SX over the S.  I've never fished with an S but I like to be able to adjust the magnets on the go.  

I was an Abu Garcia skeptic, turned believer. I used almost exclusively Quantum gear for a number of years and recently decided to buy the REVO SX. I went back and bought another one a month later and now I'm considering putting them on all my rods. Smoothest reel I've ever had and my pitching accuracy increased a ton.

I have used the pts for two years and love them to death...I have never used the revos so hard to compare..If you like what you already have why change..Just my two cents..

Well you might like what you have, but you may love something you've never even tried.
