Super User slonezp Posted April 22, 2013 Super User Posted April 22, 2013 It's a good reel for it's price point. Quote
BronzeChaser Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I've got a gen 2 and gen 3 revo s. For the price I'd say it's a great reel. The gen 2 is a little heavy, which was solved with the gen 3. I love everything about the gen 3 except for the gearbox. The way I hold my rod it just gets in the way a little bit. It isn't so bad that I won't fish it, but I won't buy more. If they solved that issue I would be all over some more revo's. It all depends on how you hold your rod though. Performance wise I would say it's a great reel. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 22, 2013 Super User Posted April 22, 2013 What generation? I had two of them when they first came out, good reels, I liked them just fine, no problems with them. I don't know anything about the current white ones, but Abu makes good stuff, I can't believe they wouldn't be as good, if not better than the first generation ones I had. I only sold them because I got smoking deals on a couple of Shimano Curado 51e's that are on the rods the Revos were on, so they became extras, and I am not a gear collector so down the road they went.

Blues19 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I got one and I love it. Its smooth, casts like a dream and feels solid. Great reel for the price Quote
TNBassin' Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 What are your thoughts of a abu Garcia revo S reel Plain and simple, it's awesome. It's a good reel for it's price point. The S is a great reel period. What the SX was to the Gen 2 Revo line, the S is that to the Gen 3 line. I have the Gen 3 SX and STX, and the S will not be outdone by either. It's buttery smooth, decently light, and casts a mile. I can't say enough about mine. Quote
Sodus Bay Scooter Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah mine is so smooth that when I'm reeling it in it feels like the drag is set to the weakest it can be and being hung up on something while I turn the crank. I've twice had to look down to see if the reel was taking in line. Quote
zwhiten12 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I bought one during the classic and so far I love it! I'm young and broke and didn't really want to spend the money but I'm glad I did! It smooth and solid and I have caught some monsters on it! I would definitely recommend it. Quote

Super User Teal Posted April 22, 2013 Super User Posted April 22, 2013 I have a gen 2, and its not on the level with my Lews TPs, but its a dang good reel for the money and i do not plan on replacing it anytime soon. Quote
