Super User OkobojiEagle Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 I've been intrigued by the Revo Premier but never jumped on a purchase, now I'm seeing them on several "for sale" boards. From those that have fished them, which version of the Premier do you consider the best (why, if you have a reason). What are the differences in braking systems between versions? Thanks for the primer... oe Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 22, 2015 Super User Posted January 22, 2015 Gen 2. Better drag (I think) and dual braking. Have only used a Gen 1. When the Gen 2 came out many considered it the best reel anywhere near its price. Gen 1 is magnetic brake only. I'm quite sure Gen 3 continued with dual brakes. Very versatile reel. EDIT: Not necessarily a better drag, but a stronger one. Quote

Super User aavery2 Posted January 23, 2015 Super User Posted January 23, 2015 Gen 2 Premier is my favorite, I fish several of them, if you can find them for around 125 that are not all rashed out, they are a steal. Quote
