WdyCrankbait Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 So, I am fighting with common sense and my wallet on buying a new Revo Rocket. I'm looking for a review if you have one. I'm down in Louisiana and everyone flips and pitchs down here, except me. Granted, I have a 200E7 with the bearings polished and upgraded drag. Thank you DVT!!! But, the Rocket at 9 to 1, Ugh! Sexy, maybe it is the uniqueness of that high a speed plus 20# of drag........Mmmmm... Any reviews? THanks, Wdy Quote
Mike2841 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I have one and I like it. If you have fished other abu reels and like them then you will like this reel as well. I will say that the finish scratches very easily. Also if you do decide to buy one, shop around they can be had well under the retail price. 1 Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 I had a first gen Revo Preimer and hated it. But, I did flip with it some, learning in the backyard, and in hind sight wish I would have kept it because I was able to flip with it so well. But, out on the water in the wind it was Birds nest central for me. Live and learn. Thanks Mike! Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 20, 2014 Super User Posted February 20, 2014 I don't own one yet, but I think they're a pretty sweet reel. The added IPT with the higher gear ratio will make you a little more efficient on those pitches that are unproductive. If I were you I'd give Tackle Warehouse a call and see if you can try one out. I know they don't have it advertised on their site yet but I wouldn't doubt that they have one ready for their reel demo program. As far as the reel itself goes, it's built on the same Revo platform which is a pretty popular platform and reliable too. Depending on what I get for a tax return, I may have a review for you pretty soon. (fingers crossed) Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 WI, yeah see Bait Monkey trap there. Just use it and see what you think, haha! I found some on the internet as low as $220ish. I got engaged and want to use the refund to payoff her ring. But, she is in Virginia now so...........I guess I dont have to ask. But, yeah if you get one here post a review will you, or at least shoot me a PM about it. Thanks, Wdy Quote
