hey guys just wondering if anyone has heard or knows when these will start comming to the popular stores. i have a bunch of bass pro gift cards and was hopping they will start to carry them soon. i know you can find them on ebay but i would like to know if i should use up my gift cards or save them because i really would like to get that reel

Had one in my hands at BPS Auburn this past weekend. It didn't impress me, though it was light.

ok i have a hunting and fishing show coming to town this weekend i was planning on checking them out this weekend. i have a 2 sx's and 1 stx and i like them very much i guess its personal preference. i would imagine this real would be similar just better hopefully for the extra $150.00 lol

Actually, the one I had in my hands was a righty - just thought of that.

d**n, well hopefully the lefts will be coming in soon

Right now the lefty mgx's are only available through abu Japan. I heard they will be available in us market by the end of the year. Don't know if its true.

Hey John what didn't you like about it ?

Ergonomics weren't great for my small hands. Handle felt "lopsided" if that's even a term? Hard to explain. It didn't feel smooth at all. Reminded me of a much lesser reel. I'll be honest, I'd buy a Premier first. This wasn't a "demo" model either. It was really light, and if that's what you after, they did that well. It's pretty cool looking too.

You give up durability to lighten the reel that much... For my money the STX is a more durable reel and the Revo flagship.

Dont hold your breath for a lefty MGX. I'm still waiting for the Revo Premier HS to come out in left hand...

so i guess i am best off spending my gift cards on something else

I think so. They stock plenty of good reels. If you really wanted to get a new reel in lefty, get a Premier. I dont think that those sub-6 oz reels are going to balance out those rods enough. You need a reel with SOME weight to it.
