REVO S for $28

[XbassmasterX]

Sunday morning and read the ads. and dicks sporting goods

and found a 20% coupon and found what looks like the revo s on a silver mas lightning rod and list of $94 then $59 and 20% off to 48 and a $20 mail in rebate so a

REVO s on  a lighting rod for $28!?

can this be ture and would the rod be of any use or just a free rod to get that revo s for real cheap  :-?

it might not be a revo. did you see where it said revo?

because at the dicks around here i have seen abugarcia silver max reels/lightning rod combos. and the silver max's didnt have red spools either.

the silver max and revo do look similar, so it might not even be a revo.

either way thats still a good deal because i hear the silver max's are pretty good, and the lightning rods are probably the best sub $100 rod i have used.

If it is the same Dick's flyer that I got today, it says right in it that it is a Silver Max.

Don't underestimate the Silver max, It's a really smooth reel and I can cast as far with it as I can my Revo S. The gears in them are great and it's well made. They just used a plastic body but this stuff is much tougher than you think. Also remember that the Revo S has a plastic side cover over the brakes. It sure doesn't hurt it any, Mike

I've also picked up a few Silver Maxs over the past week or two.  Had the opportunity Friday to try one out for the first time.  Pretty amazing reel.  It's obvious that the fit and finish isn't the same as a Revo but as far as castability and everything else a reel has to do, it works perfectly and feels like a Revo on the rod.

Since I spent around $42 on each reel NIB, they're looking like a really affordable option.  Now we'll have to see how they hold up over the season.

One of my buddies picked up one of those combos when they first came out. It is a very nice reel, but the rod snapped while fighting a three pound bass.
