Kevinator1 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Fella's, my local tackle dealer called me and said my new Revo S's came in. Had to pick them up immediately. They are sweet. Very compact, lighter and a wider spool. They look awesome. They seem very smooth but I won't get to try them out until Friday. I picked up 3 of them to replace my Shimano Citicas. I'll let you know how they perform. Quote
j.bruno Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Awesome. The wider spool sounds good to me. Cant wait to hear how they perform. Quote
RyneB Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I gotta wait until the 17th to get mine. Pics? Quote
Kevinator1 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 how come i can't see the pics My fault BassMan....didn't make them public. Should be able to see them now I hope. 1 Quote
WIBassMan Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 The reel looks awesome. I had preordered a STX on thehookuptackle and on the website it listed that the reels would ship Sept 2. On tacklewarehose it listed the reels not being available until 9/17? I'm not sure when I'll get the reel now but yours sure looks sweet. Let us know how the reel performs. Quote
TNBassin' Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 The Revo S will be my next reel, although the STX has been calling my name lately. Quote
21farms Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I had preordered a STX on thehookuptackle and on the website it listed that the reels would ship Sept 2. i preordered two STXs from THUP also. i emailed them this morning about the september 1 ship date and here's what they said: The expected ship date was from Abu Garcia to their dealers. We spoke to Abu yesterday and we are expecting the reels next week, by the 14th at the absolute latest. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us. Regards, The Hook Up Quote
WIBassMan Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Hey thanks for the update 21farms. Can't wait to start seeing reviews on the reels and getting the STX in my hands Quote
RyneB Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 nice pics. I love tackle porn. I just cant wait to play with mine. Its gonna be a loooooong 2 weeks Quote
Kevinator1 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 nice pics. I love tackle porn. I just cant wait to play with mine. Its gonna be a loooooong 2 weeks Hang in there Ryno, you might get them sooner. I ordered mine from my tackle guy last week and he got them quick. I've had to work the last couple of days but I'm sitting in my easy chair playing with the reels now. Hope to get them on the water this weekend. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 6, 2012 Super User Posted September 6, 2012 The Revo S will be my next reel, although the STX has been calling my name lately. Operation Revo S is done for me! Bought mine from BP online today. I have 2 STX's Gen 2. I seriously doubt I will upgradet them for the new ones. These are sooooo smooth and sweet. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted September 6, 2012 Super User Posted September 6, 2012 That would look sweet on a Veritas. 1 Quote
jeb2 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Good to hear they're starting to arrive. I just stopped my local tackle shop to see if my Gen3 STX has arrived yet. No joy, but hopefully soon. Hope you enjoy your new reel. Quote
Diggy Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 bps is selling them like hotcakes online Quote
jerkbait joe Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Just heard from BPS. My Gen.3 SX has shipped. 1 Quote
WIBassMan Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 d**n, haven't heard anything from thehookuptackle about my ordered STX. Wondering when I will even receive it. Quote
TNBassin' Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 My next reel will definitely have centrifugal brakes. My gen 2 SX is the last reel I will own that has mag brakes. 2 Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 That would look sweet on a Veritas. Crossing my fingers as mine should arrive today. Its being paired with a 7' medium micro guide Veritas. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 My next reel will definitely have centrifugal brakes. My gen 2 SX is the last reel I will own that has mag brakes. Ive owned several in the past. I still have my Silver Max. I found they are much better suited as a pitching only reel than casting. Quote
jeb2 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 My next reel will definitely have centrifugal brakes. My gen 2 SX is the last reel I will own that has mag brakes. That's the beauty of the Gen3 STX. You get both types of brakes. Turn one or the other off if you don't like it. Or mix and match them to get the best of both worlds. Gen2 STX and Premier's have the same system. Quote
TNBassin' Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Ordered a Revo S from BPS and took advantage of their 6 payment sale they have going on. Picked up a micro guide series 7' m/h veritas too. Gonna be sweeeeet. Quote
