New Revo S Is Here

[rockchalk06]

Im going nutso here. Tracking says my new Revo S will be here today in the mail. Mail is anywhere from 2:30-4:00. I'm going nuts.

Edited to add. It has finally arrived. This sucker is super light. With 30# braid and reel grips, she comes in at 7.8 ounces!!

My lord this is dead sexy. I have the 7' Medium Abu garcia Veritas Micro Guide rod paired with it. This is my dedicated top water rod. I like to throw Popr's and with the smaller model it lauched them big time. I have about 80 yards of braid spooled, backed with mono. I didn't measure it, but I launched this small popr about 65 yards. My neighbors think I am retarded.

With the rod coming in at 4.2 ounces, this entire combo is 12 ounces of pure black and white magic! Ok enough with the cheesy advertising.

This is super smooth. I have two brand new STX's and this new S is right up there with them.

Here are some pictures.

Put up some pics when it arrives...and let us know how the reel performs. Still waiting for my reel from THUT but have no idea when they would be shipping it.

Operation Revo is a go! I'm still torn between the stx and the s.

Got my Gen3 STX yesterday. Local tackle shop has the S, SX and STX models in. Tore it down last night (bearings were way over lubed, of course, like most every reel). Hope to get it on the water tomorrow. Nice little reel on the bench!

Hope yours comes in.

Looks great on that Veritas. I've got mine on a Veritas too and tried it out this morning. EVERYONE, the new Revo S is now my favorite reel! I bought three and I truthfully feel it is as good as my $200.00 Chronarchs. I'm not kidding. For $129.95 it is a STEAL! It is awesome and so smooth. (Talk to your local tackle dealer, I asked mine if I would get any discounts if I bought 3 and he said yes, 15% with cash or 10% with credit card) That's why I buy from my local dealer. Anywho fished with it today for 4 hours and could not put it down. Way beyond my expectations so far.

Wow that is BAD AZZ! Let me know how she performs. I'm chomping at the bit to pick one of these up. Operation Revo is complete for you lol.

I have last years "S" that I really really like.

Do any of you guy's have one also?

If you do, other than this years model being a little lighter, and the color [which I don't care about] what are the main differences in the 2?

Thanks

Mike

I don't have one, but from Abu Garcia's product video, it has a beefier D2 gear system,new X2 alloy frame wider spool, and lower profile. Makes waffles, takes care of your kids and pets, mows lawn etc.

Will do. I am going to Tuesday morning to a good lake and plan on fishing it heavy.

You should really get one. I can't say enough about it. Bass Pro has a sale going on where you can stretch payments out for 6 months no interest without using their credit card. That's how I got mine.

Operation Revo is complete for me now lol but I will have to think of another reason to buy another one

Don't forget it washes the truck!

Seriously the new models have a bent star and bent handle that is more ergonomic and looks cool. Brand new style of gears which are stronger. Wider spool, more low profile, lighter and on the bottom of the reel it has a lube port like the Pro Qualifiers from Bass Pro.

Thanks Fellas:

A local tackle shop down here has last years for 99.00.

Looks like the extra 30.00 for this years may be worth it.

Thanks

You jerk! Lol. I just called Bass Pro to get more info and I'm in. Just ordered my S and am gonna take back my vendetta and pay the difference for a veritas. This will effectively retire my black max 2 as it's getting evicted off it's vendetta to make a home for my SX. Thanks a lot lol!

[WIBassMan]

Dang Rock, that white combo looks awesome. Jealous of you guys getting yours in already. Cmon THUT, where is my order

I got my reel shipped to the store so hopefully it arrives fairly quickly. Picked up a 7ft mh veritas micro guide rod tonight at BPS so I'm ready! Where did you get those b/w handle grips? Looks cool with those on.

I'm taking a break as the fishing is slow, but this new Revo I'd the shat! Hope yours gets here quick.

As for the grips, they are reel grips. I get them at Bass Pro and Academy Sports. They are mega comfortable and set the whole set up off. I have them on every reel even my spinning.

I checked today and it finally got debited out of my account. Seems BPS is kind of slow when it comes to processing orders.

Dang Rock, that white combo looks awesome.

Sure does look purdy! White is growing on me! I got an SX ordered for my kids B-day. Hope its here in time!

[TNBassin']

I wanted an sx but I'm done with mag only brake systems.

PIMP!

Mine took 2 days to process. They have to debit two additional payments just as authorized before they ship it.
