Shimano Revo X BR Reviews Please...

AH HA...Made you look!

 

However, I really am looking to buying the ABU GARCIA Revo X, 7.3:1 in left hand retrieve. Who here owns the Revo X and how do you like the reel? What are your pros and cons of the Revo X?

 

Thank you and sorry for sinister play on words...

They are great reels at a good price. You can find some on Ebay for around 85. Excellent deal at that price.

I agree with Stephen. I have a 5:1 I use for cranks and love it. I also have a S, 2 SX and 2 STX all gen 4. They entire lineup is under rated IMO.

Probably because when Abu went from Gen 2 to Gen 3 many people were disappointed.  More than likely it will take time to get the word out that Abu is back on tract.  If they are.  Wouldn't know as I haven't purchased any more Abus after Gen 2.  I like the first two generation reels that I have.  I didn't like what I read about Gen 3s enough to chance buying one.

I agree I love my Gen 1 and 2 Revos. I bought up quite a few Gen 3 and were extremely disappointed in them. I wanted to give the SX a try with their new Dual Brake System and was amazed by them. They were definitely the quality I expect from an Abu reel.
