Dylan.747 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Thinking about picking one of these up in a 6.4:1. Can anyone give me some feedback? Any issues? Quote
ChrisWi Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I like mine, but they're lots of reviews on duds. I'd try getting one out of the box and in your hands and Make sure it's all right. Quote
Dylan.747 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I was originally planning on getting one shipped to me, but I suppose I could find a seller nearby. Thanks! Quote

ChrisWi Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 must do this to all abu Garcia reels!! I found this out the hard way. there casting reels are okay, but I think they make one of the Best spinning reels around. Quote
TiNuts Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I've had really good luck with the SXs Ive owned. I really liked them. Quote
travis23 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I really liked mine for just starting out. You can get them really cheap too. Honestly though, and a lot of people said this before me, but go with a Tatula. I ended up getting one and realized everyone was right. For the money you can't beat it. It just doesn't palm as well as the SX. Quote
rawjuice Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I always prefer to hold in hand before purchasing any reel. I own the revo s and love it as well as a Revo mgx( amazing). I think you will like the sx, I don't think much about many product reviews mostly because majority of those bad reviews are people that don't know what the hell they are doing and/or don't care for their things enough for them to work properly. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your decision and let us know what you think! Quote
Dylan.747 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I'm gonna go some time later this week and get my hands on one and I'll let you guys know what I think. Thanks! Quote
MrTexasRigs Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 It is one of my favorite workhorse reels, I'm planing on getting much more. I prefer it over my Tatula, Lexa, and Lew's Tournament honestly. To me it palms the best, it's light, and powerful. Unlike many other people I don't find the Tatula to be that appealing to me, pretty sure my SX can outcast it. I believe that's due to the fact that I'm kind of partial to the magtrax brake system and not magforce. I don't think you'll be disappointed and they also carry a 3 year warranty, I hear that Abu Garcia has great customer service. The only few problems I have with them is that Abu Garcia's thumbars are not the greatest, and the plastic (silver pieces) can get worn and turn a brownish color if you have more sweaty hands. Quote
