Super User Tywithay Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 Saw this on Mike Ike's page. He said in the comments it will be showcased at ICAST and will be available in July. Pretty slick looking, compared to most of Abu's spinners. Appears to have the rocket spool lip that a lot of the JDM Abu's have (basically the same as Shimano's spool). Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 It looks like a Revo MGX spinning reel is coming out. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 It's got that weird carbon weave like the Ardents. Yuck Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 22, 2015 Author Super User Posted January 22, 2015 It's got that weird carbon weave like the Ardents. Yuck The Pflueger Patriarch has the same highlights. Guessing these likely use the same Mg frames. Definitely like the black a lot better than the white on the Patriarch. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The Pflueger Patriarch has the same highlights. Guessing these likely use the same Mg frames. Definitely like the black a lot better than the white on the Patriarch. No kidding, the white is hideous. Quote
EvanT123 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Don't these sell for $40 on that auction site from China? 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 No kidding, the white is hideous. I don't like it as much as the previous model, but it still looks better than the Stradic FJ. Quote
0119 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Don't these sell for $40 on that auction site from China? Sure right, but if it was stamped Shimano we'd be on the 13th page praising it's perfection and happy at it's $459.00 price tag. 2 Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 If someone has Ike's email address... let him know he's fishing that new reel upside down. oe 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 If someone has Ike's email address... let him know he's fishing that new reel upside down. oe I have heard it makes all your fish feel like giants if you fish them in this manner.... Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 It's got that weird carbon weave like the Ardents. Yuck carbon fiber may not be the most visually appealing, but it is lighter and stronger than most anything we've found on this planet. perfect for fishing applications Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I don't like it as much as the previous model, but it still looks better than the Stradic FJ. I actually like the Stradic FJ, the gold highlights on the spool are nice. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 carbon fiber may not be the most visually appealing, but it is lighter and stronger than most anything we've found on this planet. perfect for fishing applicationsYou can get carbon w/out the weave. Also, magnesium is fairly light, albeit more expensive. The weave looks painted... All I'm saying Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 I like the looks of the reel, along with the specs.. Not sure on price or the mechanics of the brand exactly.. Also, almost ANY color other than white! My Baitcast reels have after market carbon fiber handles w/ weave, I like it.. Quote

Don't get me wrong, a little here and there looks cool, bit not a bunch. I guess it I better than gaudy white.... Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 23, 2015 Author Super User Posted January 23, 2015 Don't these sell for $40 on that auction site from China? Aside from looking different, likely using different frame materials, and actually having QC; they're pretty similar in looks. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 23, 2015 Super User Posted January 23, 2015 Looks cool. I wonder if it will carry the $500 price tag like the Revo MGXtreme? Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 23, 2015 Super User Posted January 23, 2015 If someone has Ike's email address... let him know he's fishing that new reel upside down. oe Might as well add a note that he left the sticker on his hat too. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 23, 2015 Super User Posted January 23, 2015 I actually like the Stradic FJ, the gold highlights on the spool are nice. somehow I would have guessed that Quote
kikstand454 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 *shrug* I like the white rods and reels. .... Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 23, 2015 Super User Posted January 23, 2015 That's sick! Come on Man, that sticker on his hat is not that cool J.K. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Sure right, but if it was stamped Shimano we'd be on the 13th page praising it's perfection and happy at it's $459.00 price tag. More like the 40th page. I love my Shimano spinning reels, but the posse does go overboard at times. I don't qualify as a Shimano posse member because I use Abu and BassPro PQ baitcasting reels. 1 Quote
