dizzy Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I found a new 2009 model Revo SX for $117 with free shipping. Should I pick one up? Quote
Sqvedgis Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Personally, I like it, but not nearly as much as I like my Curados. but for that price it sounds like a good deal. Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I would. I have an SX and I love it. Seems like a great deal. Quote
Mike Z Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I can't comment on how good it is but can say that I have read a lot of recommendations in the last few weeks here and it seems as though when anyone asks for a good reel under a few hundred, a Revo sx is always one of the reels that gets a ton of votes. That price is pretty good to with prices around $160 at most places. If you are wondering about 2009/2001 model differences, the mfg normally states what was improved, if anything. Personally, i would go for it at that price. If I could get a reel right now I would grab it too. Quote
0119 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Ive been very unhappy with the new curado and sold mine off sticking to my old d series curado's. Lately Ive had minor breakdowns with them. That and finding that my new Stradic CI4 2500 was loosing its finish even though its always kept in a shimano reel cover, had made me very disenchanted with Shimano. To try something different I recently got the 2010 SX. Wow a great reel. Solid. An anti reverse different from any Shimano Ive ever used, absolutely no back play. I see more SX's in my future. Quote
fmoore Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I would highly recommend the SX. I absolutely love the reel. I would have more than one if it weren't for Tackle Warehouse selling the 2009 Premiers for so cheap. When they have sales the Premiers are a great deal there. But I would have no reservations about buying an SX. Quote
BobP Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Hey, I paid $140 for a SX last year and it was a good deal. Go for it. Nice reel. Quote
dizzy Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 I bought it! It is on the way. Should be here next week. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted May 2, 2010 Super User Posted May 2, 2010 I bought it! It is on the way. Should be here next week. Congratulations. Always nice to hear of someone getting new equipment. ;D I purchased an 09 STX-L not long ago. Haven't used it on water yet as I haven't needed the 40 lb. braid that it is spooled with. Have practiced with it in my yard. I think it will do great on water. Can't see there being that much difference between our two reels. Quote
torsten329 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Pick it up man. I have one and I love it. Can't beat it for that price. Quote
