Tired of fighting your reel as much as the fish? Turn to the Revo SX low-profile baitcast reel, which has started a Revolution among serious anglers across the country. Anglers will tell you that the Revo offers more advantages than any other reel in its class. The Revo is more comfortable in the hand, smoother, holds more line, and holds up admirably in both fresh and saltwater. Plus, most of the Revo family includes a 24-pound drag system that's two to three times more powerful than other reels, giving you superior fish-fighting power with every cast. All Revo reels are made of an X-Craftic aluminum alloy that's more durable and lighter than regular aluminum and resists corrosion. The reel's 11 high-performance bearings, meanwhile, provide the smooth casting and superior distance that modern fishing requires.

Anglers have their choice of two speeds--a 6.4:1 version and a 7.1:1 model--available in both right- and left-handed orientations. The high-speed 7.1:1 SX reels will help anglers with their pitching and flipping presentations as well as burning baits over grass. Other features include Linear Magnetic brakes, Duragear brass gears, and synchronized level wind. Offering a line capacity of 12/140, the Revo reel carries a lifetime warranty.

Questions about Abu Garcia Revo Fishing Reel (SX, Line Weight- 12/140)

Product reviews of Abu Garcia Revo Fishing Reel (SX, Line Weight- 12/140)

TZ-IL : Great Deal for a Great Reel

I bought the RH, 6.4:1 model, fulfilled by Shelton's Clothing, who shipped it on time and in good packaging.
This was my first baitcasting reel, although I have used baitcasters a few times. The SX falls in between the STX and the S in the Revo low-profile baitcasters from Abu Garcia. For my needs (primarily pond/lake Largemouth Bass fishing), the SX has the best balance of features/performance vs price. Based on the product image that Amazon is using, I expected a new but older model of the reel. When I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is actually the current model (red drag cover, red accented spool, handles and star drag arms bent in towards spool, etc.).
Before using the reel, I carefully disassembled it and checked all the grease and oil points for lubrication. Everything appeared to have been properly lubed at the factory, but I added a few small drops of Quantum Hot Sauce oil to the mechanical brake and the spool bearings, per the manual.
I paired it up with a Abu Garcia Vendetta 6'6" M rod that I purchased elsewhere, and spooled the reel with 12# Trilene Sensation (green).
I've only had the opportunity to cast it about a dozen times so far. After being careful to get the mechanical and magnetic brakes dialed in for the weight of the spinnerbait I was using, it worked great -- I was able to cast about 30 yards (not trying to really heave it out there) and using a bit of thumb pressure when needed, I didn't create any "professional overruns". The spinnerbait was pretty heavy, though, so the real test will come when I try casting lures and rigs that are on the lighter side.
Retrieve was smooth, fast, and quiet -- the reel feels really solid.
I'll try to post an update after using the reel for a few months, but my first impressions are very positive and I would recommend the Revo SX.

J C : Revo sx

If you are looking for a higher end baitcaster this the way to go. The Revo is silky smooth casting and the drag is amazing. I am a long time curado lover and I still love the curado but same lure on same rod the revo out casts the curado by 20 yards easy and the revo is $40 less than the new curado e series

buy it you won't be sorry

jwm2201 : best reel i have owned

I have had several reels mostly Lews, not knocking lews reels but hard to find and fairly pricey.This Revo out castes any I have tried by atleast 20 feet and it casts easier with less effort.Best reel out there in my oppinion and $30 cheaper than Lews.

jwm2201 : best reel i have owned

Gadawgsr1 : Good reel! I prefer the STX but this one is second in line.

If money is tight, this reel will get it done. I will opt for the STX over this one everytime.

Debbie K : Revo ROCKS

Purchased the "lefty" version of this reel and I am totally satisfied with the quality and function of this reel. This was my first baitcaster and I wanted quality. The Abu Garcia Revo reels are professional grade fishing tools and are as good or better than anything out their. Amazon and its partner offer good prices for these items as well. High points for this reel are the easy brake adjustments, the super powerful drag, they are reasonably light, and, oh yeah, they catch fish. I have since bought more Abu baitcasters including another couple SX's. They are an excellent value.

hrdrockker40 : Dollar for dollar the best reel I own

Im getting ready for the northeast fishing season so I decided to purchase a new rig. I am a schrewed shopper and I found this "lefty" at an unreal (no pun intended) price. I was so impressed with this reel that I immediately researched the Vendetta rods and picked one of those to complete the package. The construction is solid, the drag system is top notch, and as for casting this thing is tops. Very little backlash in practice mode and when I dialed it in - no backlash what so ever. I own Diawa, Quantum, Pfluger, Fenwick, Pinnacl and this one is the s*&%. Now I just have to wait for the seasons to change.....
