LunkerFisher Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Picked up the older, heavier abu revo sxhs for $100 new. Seems like a lot of reel for the money. Spooled it up with 50lb 832 and stuck it on my 7'6" mh veritas. I'll be using it for frogging and maybe try some punching and flippin with it too. Now the question: How'd i do? Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted August 9, 2014 Super User Posted August 9, 2014 New for $100, you did just fine. Solid, good performing reels! I had 4 of them at one time, never a problem with any of them. Quote
LunkerFisher Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Took it out today, and it certainly casts wonderfully. I am fairly new to baitcast reels and don't have the most well trained thumb. I only mildly backlashed once casting frogs for about 4-5 hours. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted August 10, 2014 Super User Posted August 10, 2014 Can't beat that! Enjoy that Revo! Consider having it serviced over the winter. Get those spool bearings cleaned out and it will cast even better. Quote
