I have been corrupted.......... 2024
FishTank reply :
I finally gave in and decided to get a Revo. I am for the most part a Shimano guy but after getting a chance to play with a Revo last week, I think I may have been converted.
Here's my new toy.........

Dude, you are going to love that reel....you might as well go ahead and post up all your Shimano reels for sale now so you can get some more Premiers.

I just bought my 8th and 9th Revo a few days ago - replacements for my Curado 200 DHSVs. Still don't have a Premier, yet, though. Soon...
Jake P reply :
Another addition to the Abu family. Glad to have you sir. I love the black and silver, i might have to buy me one now .

The only problem I see with that reel is that the handle is on the wrong d**n side.

No no no, leave it alone....it's perfect!

That's great! Do not be a slave to one brand , you'll miss out on a lot of differant quality products if you insist on being loyal to one brand.

Hey Fishtank,
When you get ready to offload them worthless Shimanos, just let me know. I'll take em off your hands. Always wanting to help a brother out.

id be sold if they made a 5:1 ratio version. instead ill stick with my useless green curados and new citicas.
Tin reply :
Welcome to the Abu Posse, lol. ;D
As 5bl said, just sell those Shimmy's, you want want another one after fishing with a Revo.
Jeff H reply :
It's true. Use a Revo for a day and you'll be buying another very soon. Happened to me, I'm 3 deep so far. Hopefully next one will be the Premier.
AKFerzy7 reply :
REVO DETAR
Micro reply :
I took the plunge, too. I returned the 6.4:1 STX I bought in December to BPS and bought a Premier instead. I can't believe how light it is. I'm going to use it on my Fenwick HMG GT66M 6'6" medium.
FishTank reply :
I have been thinking of a Fenwick rod as well. I saw on Abu's website that there is a $50 mail in rebate if you buy a Fenwick or an AllStar rod and a Revo. Sounds like an awesome deal.
MALTESE FALCON reply :
Alright, another convert. Revos Rock!!!

I believe 5.4:1 gears can be bought thru ABU GARCIA customer service for those that are interested. I bought 2 sets for the S models I have.

That's right. I sent an e-mail to Abu a few days ago asking about the "performance upgrades" section on their website that is still not completed. I asked what they were planning on offering. The first thing he mentioned were 5.4:1 gears that are available now for the Revo. You can order them from Abu just like any other part.

now we may be talking. i like 5:1 for all my cranking this time of year. later on for deep cranks and spinner baits. i try to stick with the same style reels if i can so i hadnt really looked into a revo yet. how do the lower priced models work for yall?
Micro reply :
I haven't actually fished with my Revo Ss yet, but I've been casting them and they are impressive. You are not losing anything by buying a Revo S instead of an SX or STX. In fact, the S may actually be a wee bit better because it seems to me the brake may be a little more effective.
I really like the S so far.
Josey Wales reply :
Ive been looking into the revo as of late and may take the plunge as well... You cannot ignore the 24lbs of dragforce you can put down with those things. I have different reels and no real complaints... A Calais, quantum energy pt, and the older curados... (green) I wont change my shimano spinning reels, but I think its time to retire the old green curado's and put that revo on a flippin stick.
Micro reply :
Even if it does have 24 lbs of drag force, you'll never use anything close to that much.
Josey Wales reply :
Your absolutely right about that... But why do people buy a sportscar that goes 200+ mph? to go that fast? probably not, but I bet it doesnt even flinch at 75 mph.
Ill never use 24 lbs of drag on a bass... but ill bet that it handles 8lbs better then a reel that has a 10 lb drag cap.
5bass reply :
I own at least a couple of each model and have since they came out. I believe if I was blindfolded and picked up and casted any of them, I probably couldn't tell one from the other....except maybe the Premier because of the weight difference. The S model is a great reel, just like the rest of 'em.
And you can order the wider handles from Abu Garcia also if that's an issue with anyone. (It was for me) Just tell them you want to order the Inshore Revo handles.....they are wider.

Yep- if you want to unload any of those crappy old Curados, let me know. I might just take a few off your hands.
Hooked_On_Bass reply :
I'm not listening to any of this craziness ;D.
(The Revo STX's on sale at BPS for $199.99 sure do look pretty )
