crankbait2009 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Right now I own a REVO STX baitcaster and was thinking about getting the REVO SX baitcaster. Is there anyone that has used both that can chime in on which one they believe is better? Quote
TRYTOFISH Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 stx is far above the sx. sx is a good reel, but the stx is far better. i have 8 of them. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted January 8, 2012 Super User Posted January 8, 2012 Have service 100's of both. IMO............... They are basically the same reels inside, differance is bearing count and placement. Tight Lines All! Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 8, 2012 Super User Posted January 8, 2012 Have service 100's of both. IMO............... They are basically the same reels inside, differance is bearing count and placement. Tight Lines All! I thought the breaks were different? Quote
ChrisAW Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I thought the breaks were different? Yeah they are. The SX has just magnetic brakes, while the STX has both( atleast the new ones do.) Stx for sure. I have two SX's and I like them, but that's only because I have them being used mainly for pitching, so they do very little casting. The magnetic brakes are finicky. They seem to like to have backlashes at random, which can get frustrating. Quote
crankbait2009 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 I will stick with the STX then....thank you guys Quote
SausageFingers Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Im a little late to this one it appears. I have both and actually prefer the SX. I feel like I can dial it in a little better without the centrifugal brakes. The STX is a great real nonetheless. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 They aren't vastly different in engineering but, the simple addition of the Centrifugal brake makes the STX worth the $30 extra imo. Quote
