Revo Spinning Reels

[Fattygreens]

Any one rolling with these, or have experience? Just picked up a 6'9 Villain spinning rod on closeout and was considering one of these reels but have not heard diddly about them. Are they worthy of the price tags they carry?

I was almost set on the revo sx 20 but I couldn't find any solid reviews. There are a couple around but that wasn't enough for me. I ended up ordering a stradic that should be here tomorrow. Even though I hate the white color, it's track record is what sold me.

I have an sx30. It's a pretty nice reel. It's pretty d**n smooth, but I'm not sure it's $160 smooth. Ive played with cheaper reels that were just as smooth or smoother. The funny thing is they let me feel it in the store with the handle on the left side and it felt great. I put it on the right side and its got a little tick to it. I'll probably end up taking it back.

Unfortunately I've only fished it once so i cant say much more about it than above, but it did great with 15# braid. I did catch a 2 lb channel cat and it felt good.

There are a couple reviews online and they all say very positive things about it.

I have a premier 20 and love it its so buttery smooth feels nice on the rod and in my hand. Iv been comparing it to the stradic Ci4 2500 side by side and prefer the premier a d not because I'm an Abu guy it just feels nicer the stradic knob it's tiny it seems and just feels cheap though I know it's not. The stradic does spank the premier in weight and they are equally as smooth but the stradic is giving me line twist fits and winding difficulties both have braid and throw same lures so idk.

I got the premier on sale for 200 at gander I wouldn't mind picking up 1 or 2 more honestly. Plus it looks sexy lol

I've always wondered about the Premier spinning reels, you just don't hear much about them.  I'd like to get one, but they ain't cheap.

Yeah I haven't heard much on them either I stumbled across one miss marked at gander and had a new Nikon scope in the cart for my .243 I asked to hold the premier and if I could get it at the 199 price. I put the scope back and walked out with the premier they sold it to me for 189.99 I almost went back and grabbed another.

i have a orra s size 20 its pretty good, and i also have a revo sx size ten, its very smooth, nice drag and good power for a small reel, i would recommend it. only thing i dont like is the handle is very small

Once you've used it for a bit, you'll have to let us know your opinion.

Iv been using it for about a month now caught a few trout and pike on it and 2 bass ill probably te more bass on it now that the small mouth are running good. So far I love it I have been a using it a bit when trout fishing it's been set down in the mud a few times. I did have a real nice trout on it it would have spooled me but I have 20# braid and I went for a little jog down the river in tow lol. It held up good reel smooth on the drag even with the trout screaming down stream. I lost it when it turned and came back at me I couldent reel fast enough. My buddy ended up hooking it again on his outfit and landed it after I tired it out. He fishes a Stella though got it on like stringy rubber egg things lol. Over all I like it alot ill be fishing it more an more though ill do a little review which reminds me I need to do one on my villain some one asked me to on here after I fished it a bit.

I picked up an SX40 and it is the smoothest spinning reel I own.  I actually like it better than the Revo Premier.
