Went with the Revo STX!

[The Bassinator]

Just ordered it from TW on sale for $119.99.  Hopefully I'll like it ;D

[SDoolittle]

You will.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

I've fished with a '09 STX some, it's a pretty nice reel and a steal at $120

[Shane J]

Oh yeah, you will. Nice reels.

[bilgerat]

Good reel. In case you haven't read it, this thread will tell you all you need to know.

One more thing. After a few trips to confirm it works ok, you may want to have it cleaned and lubed. It's likely going to be packed with grease and over oiled.

[5bass]

You will.

agreed. these respond really well to a cleaning and lubing.

Your going to love it man, I wish I had all STX's in my arsenal...

[RussBert]

I like mine. It's mounted on an Avid 7' MH/F rod and spooled with Cortland 50# Masterbraid. I also have an '09 Premier that I'm very happy with 8-)

I'm the guy that takes a brand-new reel, opens it up and completely dis-assembles it, flushes out all the bearings and gives it a "proper" lubricating. Your casting performance will be significantly improved if you at least flush the spool bearings and lube with a light bearing oil. Same goes for the Curado's

Great reel, I have one and would love a few more.

[scrutch]

You won't be disappointed.  Good choice.

[SkilletSizeBass.]

I think you will like it and that is a good price on it also.

If I get another one I'd look at the lower geared stx for light crankbaits.

[The Bassinator]

Well if I do get it cleaned a lubed I'll probably do it myself since I like to take things apart to see how they work.  That being said I'll take precautions to make sure I can put back together and have it in good working order when I get it out on the water. Hopefully all goes well
