ib_of_the_damned Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Currently I am using a Revo SX high speed for my swimbaits, and have read that a slower ratio reel is far more advantageous for swimbaits. I love the Revo series(I have the 2010 Revo SX and 09 SX-HS) and don't have the cash for the higher end models. What do you all think of the Revo S for tossing swimbaits? I was thinking of getting the Revo S and using the SX-HS for my jig/worm/spinnerbait reel. Quote
Chaz Hickcox Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 That should work. I use my Revo S for Cranks so it should work for Swimbaits. I too have a few Revo SX's that I use for pitching/flipping and spinnerbaits. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Just depends on what you are going to throw. The internals of small frame, low-profile reels were not designed to handle the abuse of throwing big baits. From your other thread, I saw where you will be staying under two ounces. On that note, you should be ok with a Revo S. Quote
KenG85 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I think that would be a smart move. Its a tough reel and I dont think the lack of a magnetic breaking system will make a difference here. Since your throwing swimbaits. Quote
