kyfan84 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 What do you think about Abu Garcia Revo S baitcasting reels Quote
tbone1993 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Honestly like the stx a lot more than the s had them both in my hand. I like the new gen revos better than last gen, they are based on the mgx frame which makes them a lot smaller and lighter IMO Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 26, 2012 Global Moderator Posted December 26, 2012 I'm the opposite, I've owned both and no longer have the STX because I traded another member for another Revo S because I liked the feel of the S better than I did the STX. Haven't even touched one of the new models, these were last years reels. 1 Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted December 26, 2012 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted December 26, 2012 I have 6 of the SX HS and love them. They are bullet proof. I don't take good care of them. Use them 200 times a year. Leave them on/in the boat. The only time they get cleaned is when it's raining. And still flawless performance. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 26, 2012 Super User Posted December 26, 2012 Before I converted to all Shimano reels, I had Revo's. All first gen. Originaly I had an S, SX, and an STX. I didn't like either the SX or the STX, sold the SX and got another S, and traded the STX off for something else. I used those S's alot for 3-4 years with nothing more than general maint. and they were still going strong when I got rid of them. They are probably the only non-shimano reels I would buy again, and now maybe the STX since it has the dual breaking. That was my biggest problem with the 1st gen SX, and STX I had, just too touchy with the mag. brakes. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 26, 2012 Super User Posted December 26, 2012 The Revo S is a great reel. Its my main setup for my bankfishing and softplastic setup when I go to the everglades. I have it with 10lb yozuri and its awesome. Light, smooth, and strong when needed. Quote
TNBassin' Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 The REVO S is an amazing reel. I have the new STX too, and honestly it's not $70 better than the S. The STX has the dual braking system so you can flip and pitch or make it your casting reel, but the S is just too good for the price for me to recommend the STX instead. I love both though. Quote
RyneB Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 great reel. I have Gen 1s,2s and 3s. My favorite reel i own is a Gen 2 Premier, then my MGX, then my Gen 3 Revo S. Quote
