The winch is great

Hey ya'll,

 

Would just like to leave a positive review for the REVO Winch Gen 4. I posted photos of the reel along with the spinnerbait rod that I got to complement it. Let me just say that I am very pleased with both the rod and reel but the winch is simply amazing. The cranking power and ability of this reel to control the amount of vibration that is transmitted to your hand is awesome. I cast 1/2oz spinners on this reel with the break completely off and the tension quite low unless the wind is particularly troublesome that day and can get incredible casting distance as a result with minimal backlash. It is not particularly huge either. I can palm it quite comfortably. What is large about the reel is the handle, but that allows for more effortless reeling. I'm just very pleased with this reel and figured that I would be based on the reviews of others on here. We will see about longevity of the reel but I plan on maintaining it well.

 

If you are thinking of getting a low speed reel with a little more power and control, this is the one!

Good for you.  I have absolutely no experience with Revo reels.  If it works for you,that's great.  As a member of the " Shimano Posse" there is a better than good chance that I could go to hell for using a Revo reel.   If it works good for you, that is great.  Me - I think that bad things would happen should I fish a  Revo reel - or even own one.    When I stop by pawn shops, I keep wandering when I see a Revo red; on the shelf - though doesn't occur to me to buy it - ever.

Ive wanted to try one for a while. I still run a handful of Revo Rockets bait casters and love em.
