soccplayer07 Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Christmas! Looking for a new cranking reel. Leaning towards the Revo Winch or another STX. Is the Winch more similar to the STX or the SX? I tried the SX a few years ago and was never a fan. Thanks Quote

Super User aavery2 Posted December 25, 2012 Super User Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Christmas! Looking for a new cranking reel. Leaning towards the Revo Winch or another STX. Is the Winch more similar to the STX or the SX? I tried the SX a few years ago and was never a fan. Thanks Truthfully the 2nd Gen Winch is more similar to the Revo S. The 2nd Gen Winch uses pitch/centrifugal brakes and a single piece spool shaft as does the Revo S. The STX is a dual brake and SX is magnetic only, both use the infinini II spool. The new 3rd Gen Revo Winch is more similar to a STX in the fact that it has the dual braking, but still uses a single piece spool shaft like the S. I use a 2nd and the new 3rd gen Winch, they both are great reels for med to deep cranking. The Gen 2 is a bigger profile and heavier reel, but if you are using it on a 7'6" - 8' deep cranking rod it does not make much difference. The Gen 3 Winch is much lighter, smaller profile, sits nice on 7ft graphite cranking rods for medium divers and such. Quote
