Abu Garcia Summer Sale 2024
Hawkeye21 reply :
Just saw that Abu Garcia is having a summer sale on their website. A good amount are already out of stock but still some good stuff there. https://www.abugarcia.com/
Hear are two that I thought were great. I ordered two rods right away.
Revo SX for $59.99
Veritas 2.0 $32.00
RichF reply :
I'm not a huge fan of Abu Garcia, but I ordered a Premier last night. If the others had the faster retrieves on sale, I'd probably get a couple more.

Wasn't in time to get what I needed. Thanks for sharing though

I feel pretty lucky to get what I did. I have an extra spinning reel without a pole so was able to get a 7 foot MHF Veritas and I needed to get a new pole for frogs and other heavy gear so I got the 7'6" MHF Veritas. After tax it only cost $68!!! That's still cheaper than what Cabelas is selling them for and they have them marked down to $69.99 which is still a good deal.

Wish I could fit a 7'6" in my vehicle. 7'3" was already sold out

Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered a Revo STX HSL for $79.99! Definitely can't beat that!
The Kangler reply :

OperationEagle reply :
Wow...saw that price increase...got a premier for $115 just in time. Needed another reel that can handle a wide range of bait weights and I am hoping this will fit the bill.

Ive been using my 1st gen Veritas 7' MHF forever as a frog rod.VERY capable rod if anything like the OG.
KDW96 reply :
I had 2 winchs in the cart. Came back 2hrs later, they went from 39.99 to 55.99. Needless to say i ,i aint playin that game.
The Kangler reply :
The bait monkey got me after I bought the Premier and Winch. An hour later I went back and bought another Premier 
Hawkeye21 reply :
I knew everything was going to go very fast. As soon as I fought out about the sale I bought the rods quickly. After that I posted it on here. Looked a bit later and the rods were out of stock already and some prices had gone up. Gotta act quick on deals like that.
standman reply :
Hmmm... ordered 2 Veritas rods (spinning and casting) and the Revo S reel (before the price increase). They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Abu sent 2 shipments - 1 is listed at 1.2 lbs, but the second one is 7.2 lbs. What the heck did they stuff in that second box? I guess I'll find out tomorrow ?.

The one that is 7.2lbs is the rods most likely. Those shipping tubes are heavy.
Hawkeye21 reply :
My two rods should be at the door today.

You got a REVO premier for $115?????? Am i missing something here?
I should've read all the posts...they raised prices...
I'm still considering getting a premier in 7:1 for $160...
JaxBasser reply :
Got my 7'6 MHF veritas today. Still a broomstick like my gen 1 veritas was but that's fine for what I'll be using it for.

Yep...they had the Premier for $114.99 before bumping it up to $160. I am now wondering how the Premier will compare with the STX which was even cheaper. I have a few Lew's Tournament Pro's (that I love) which I was thinking the STX would be too similar to...as I was gunning for something different. We will see!

Was this an error on the website that they honored? I just can't see selling a premier for 114.99. Thats a heck of a deal even for an STX. I've never used a premier, but i do have the MGX which has the centrifugal brakes like the premier... I think the only difference is the spool capacity and weight but they are pretty dang close.

It wasn't a mistake. It was up for almost 2 days.
I'm thinking they're clearing out inventory for gen 4 Revo and 3.0 veritas models.

Yeah, a lot of places have the gen 3's on sale, but I'm not sure why they didn't just keep the same sale price, unless demand was so high that they jacked up the price. Oh well...

I ordered a Revo STX for $79.99 before they price jumped up to $159.99, they didn't cancel my order and its on the way!

Almost every single piece of gear I have comes from different manufacturer because of deals like these lol... just need to find a good Gloomis deal...

:-( well i missed that one. IF anyone has a spare REVO premier that they don't want I'll pay $130 for it LOL....

I'm an Abu guy all the way. Sign up for their e-mail. 90% of the time their e-mails are junk but they sent me 4 e-mails about this sale. I didn't look through it because I'm tapped out. After reading these posts I wish I would've read earlier, I'd collect cans along the road to take advantage of some of the deals they had! Lol

LOL, I'm on their list and like you said, most of their deals are junk anyways so I never pay attention...it's my own fault.
nocluefisher reply :
Received my premier and 2 veritas rods today. Put the premier on my Dobyns 736cb and thru a few casts during lunch. still have to fine tune the reel but It performed really well. For $115 I think I did ok.
The Kangler reply :
I got one of the Premiers today. Looks and feels great. Especially for $115! The other premier and the Orra Winch won't arrive until Monday. Guess I will call in sick and go fishing Tuesday. lol

Nice! My Premier comes Monday. Kinda wish I woulda bought a couple STX's to replace a couple older reels.
jtesch reply :
I missed the sale but those that scored the premier got a great deal. I'm happy with mine at $219. They are an under appreciated reel. I'm not the biggest ABU fan but the MGX and the Premier are both really good Baitcasters.
OperationEagle reply :
Premier arrived and looking forward to spooling it. Smooth feeling reel for sure. Thanks guys who have experience with the premiers for your perspectives. I thought for $115 it's worth a try.

Thanks,just ordered an STX
The Kangler reply :
One thing I immediately noticed is the Revo Premier doesn't free spool NEARLY as long as my BB1 Pro's. Does that even mater when actually fishing?

Try Gander Mountain. The store near me is going out of business (Maybe all are?) and they had some GL2's on sale for about 30% off. Almost grabbed one today but I'm broke from the ABU sale. lol

Lol, I just got back from my Gander Mountain. They seem optimistic that they'll be one of the stores still in business. Sales were only 10%. Might increase in the summer.

If the 4 rods you sent me make it early enough Tuesday, I will definitely be hitting the water. Thanks for the trade!

Hopefully they do! I'm looking to get out next Saturday to play with the new gear. I'm actually not crazy about the new premier lol. Got it yesterday. It doesn't feel like a $300 reel. The knobs are nice though.

Abu typically over oils and over grease's their reels. If you flush the bearings and re-lube with a drop of good reel oil it will free spool for a loooong time. Helps pitching more then overhand casting. Really great all purpose reel, light but can be a beast
OperationEagle reply :
Will be honest. Right out of the box I felt the same way about the lack of free spool. Also you can hear the bearings a bit.
I lubed and spooled it up. Just threw some plugs in the yard.
ummm....yeah, this one's a keeper. Super easy to cast with tons of control. And casts plenty far....and I won't say a country mile as I have no idea how long that is.
Real test will will be on the water...and hooking into a hawg. Looking forward to that.
The Kangler reply :
Yeah, I really need to flush the bearings on all my reels. I just keep buying reels and rods and never have the cash for spool pin pliers. Maybe next week. Unless another sale pops up! Anyone know a SAFE way to remove a spool pin without dropping $40 on pliers? I know I know, quit being a tight a**. lol

I really didn't think it felt like $300 either. The Orra Winch actually felt more solid to me, but that could just be because its heavier. The winch doesn't free spool any better though.

After flushing, do you recommend the oil Abu sent, or something else?
jtesch reply :
One small drop of the Abu oil would be fine. Anyone with doubts on this reel just read the tackle tour review, very high grades at the 300 price point, for $160?its a steal. Great brake system also, same as the mgx and you can actually find a decent amount of upgrade tuning parts
OperationEagle reply :
Only mistake I made was not buying a second abu premier.
Not gonna lie...out of the box, I was disappointed that I could hear the bearings turn as it didn't seem to be smooth or free spool that well.
Must have been the way they packed the grease into the bearings. During my first outing with it, there was a point where it seemed a bit noisier...then soon after something clicked and it has become buttery smooth ever since.
Probably my favorite so far in terms of cast control. Several 18-20 in bass landed so far...so might start to be my lucky reel as well...ha!

I totally agree with you. My second outing with it was quite nice. I really got it dialed in. Great cast control, super smooth, and comfortable. I think Cabelas has them online for $180 right now.
