The American Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I think the new S is going to look awesome on the Veritas. I might have to pick one up.. 1 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 that's my plans as well both the BC and spinning it does look like a sexy combo Quote
TNBassin' Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Definitely will be picking up the new revo s and a veritas. I already have a revo sx and a black max 2, so I'm wanting to try a reel with centrifugal brakes. Plus that combo just looks sweet. Quote
TNBassin' Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I hope to find a Veritas on the cheap in the next few weeks so it will be ready for my new Revo S. Amazon has the Veritas pretty cheap right now. Well under retail. Quote

Well under retail. Ive seen them under 70 at times from certain sellers (shipped) I paid 99 before discovering this Quote
Kevinator1 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Oh Yeah!....I've already given my tackle dealer an order for 3 Revo S Baitcasters and 2 of the Revo S spinning reels. I've got the Veritas spinning rods already and I'm going to buy 3 new Veritas Casting Rods.....I believe TW has a 15% discount on most items through Sept. 4th. That would make the Veritas rods around 85 bucks. Not bad. Now I'll be poor! Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted August 31, 2012 Super User Posted August 31, 2012 I'm selling off my Max series reels to make way for the new S and pair it with a Veritas 7'3" MH. Will be my dedicated Texas Rig! Quote
TNBassin' Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I might sell off my Black Max 2 and the Vendetta it's on to help finance "Operation REVO S". Wonder what I could get for them? Quote

Wonder what I could get for them? I got my Pro max sold but can't get a bite on the Silver and Black x2. The Pro was the only one I didn't want to sell lol. O well if they dont sell they can always become back ups or finesse rigs Quote
TNBassin' Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 My BMAX 2 is a great little reel. I can sling baits a mile with that thing with it dialed in. I don't ever notice a performance drop off when I put down my revo sx and pick it up. The drag isn't the best, but it's ok. Hell I paid $35 for it on Amazon, and for the money it's been top notch.

I haven't used mine yet. I bought them cause the deal was too good to be true. They are smooth though. I would like to upgrade the bearings to the boca but it's gonna run like 80 bucks a reel. Quote
TNBassin' Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I've thought about doing that too, but you're right about the cost of the bearing kit. That's a good chunk of money that we could stick towards the revo s. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted August 31, 2012 Super User Posted August 31, 2012 I just called Boca on my Revo STX and the 3 bearing pack was 45. I may get those after the new Revo. Project Revo for me as begun! Quote
shootermcbob Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 After you guys are done playing around with "operation Revo" (cool name, by the way), you can purchase Shimano reels at all major retailers!!! :grin: 1 Quote

I have both the Citica(E) and the Revo S(1st gen) I prefer my Revo but honestly there isn't MUCH difference but the Revo does feel better in my hand Quote

Shatmano....good comeback. Made me laugh out loud! In all seriousness, whatever you purchase, I hope you enjoy and catch several hawgs on it! Quote

I don't care for the look of the winch model and I would eventually like to get another cranking set up so that may be the one Quote
