abu garcia or quantam

[ford_man]

I am having a conflict between which reel i should pick. I have codensed it down to two reels they are the abu garcia revo stx and the quantum pt tour addition. please post which one you would pick.

[HomersTomaco]

without a doubt the revo stx.  

hell I would probably buy a revo s instead of the quantum.  Although the revo's are new and no one knows if they will hold up over time, its already been proven that the quantum PT wont hold up over time, so why buy it?

[Maxximus Redneckus]

Revo STX 100% you wont be dissapointed

[GAMEOVER]

Revo STX, dont even think about it.

[Maxximus Redneckus]

without a doubt the revo stx.

Actually they have been out for 8 months fished hard by pros and avid anglers with no complaints BUT will they take the place of the c,3 in decades of great relaible fishing is the Question??

I have no use for anything that Quantum puts out.

I've used Abu Garcia reels for twenty-four years with zero problems, my choice would be the Revo STX.

I didn't realize that quantum was viewed so badly by so many.  Good to know...

From what I heard they were really hitting the gutter. But they were bought by another company that turned it arround.  Again just something I heard from my local rod and reel.

The Revo hands down;

[roadwarrior]

Hmm...

I was thinking Shimano Curado.   :

[largemouthslayer]

i'm with road warrior    something about a curado just look at non sponsored pros and some sponsored check bass mag march old pic of greg hackney look at what he was using before a big quantam pay check    or the rookie that won this years first  BASS tournament he was using an old green curado

[MitchIsFishin]

When I bought my last reel, I also considered a Revo STX. Great looking reel, smooth, but decided to go with the Curado. The Revo hasn't been out all that long, personally for me, I will look at it again in 6mo-1yr to see how they are holding up. I bought the 100 dsv & absolutely love it. Roadwarrior is right, shimanos are ridiculously smooth. I can see using this reel 10 yrs+ from now.

I also bought the Curado instead of the STX.  The Curado just felt better for some reason.  I am also used to Shimano, I'm not one that wants to be in for surprises when I am out on the water.

For longevity between the two brands I would pick Garcia®

Tight Lines!!!

[.ghoti.]

I don't own a Revo, so I can't comment on it. I do own six Quantum PT's, three spinning and three baitcasters. All six have performed flawlessly. I dont' know where the bad rap on Quantum originated. I've had very good experience with their PT series reels.

I also have a few old Abu's that still work after twenty years of use. Are they as smooth as my new reels? Of course not, they never were. But they still work. Abu's have a well deserved reputation for longevity.

I don't think you'd go wrong with either choice.

Cheers,

Another vote for Abu.

[Ky_Lake_Dude]

I will NEVER get another quantum. The last one I got literally fell apart within  within 2 weeks. I say stick with the garcias all the way. I've never had trouble with an Abu Garcia.

Those guys are probably just members of the Shimano Posse hatin' on the next great thing and most likely dont even own any Revo's!     ;D
