product description

The new Revo S enhances cutting edge technology and functionality with a more compact and ergonomic design that is 15% lighter than the previous model. With a new white look, the Revo S frame is constructed of X2- Cräftic alloy for added corrosion protection. Other features include seven stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing, an improved D2 Gear Design for more efficient cranking power and the reliable Carbon Matrix drag system for smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range. The Pitch Centrifugal brake utilizes, 6 brake blocks (3 spring loaded and 3 non spring loaded). The spring loaded brake blocks act only when the spool is under high revolution (1st part of the cast) and will then disengage to give maximum distance. The non spring loaded brake blocks act on the entire cast to give maximum control throughout the cast.

7 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides smooth operation

Questions about Abu Garcia Revo4 S Reel

Can you get a power Handel for this reel

How much farther does the cast go than with a black max and how do you use the brake?

Answer: To be honest it probably throws the same I also own a black max and it's hard to out throw it. I use my revo s for flipping n pitching. It does the job of cranking them big girls out of cover. I'd say either way your in the good though

Answer: I can tell a big difference in the 2. Especially after a few years of use. Black max and silver max are junk imo. Black Max went in the trash after a year and ordered more revos. I have S and STX models and both seem about the same to me.

Answer: Not really sure I haven't used a blackmax but I really like the s and sx models I have several of each and love the performance of both models

Does the left hand model hold more line?

Answer: Not sure why it would hold more line, the spool size is the same as the right hand.

Answer: No dude. It's just got the handle on the left, so smart people can fish comfortably. They do catch way more fish though.

Answer: No. Unfornetly no! It holds the same amount, but now I don't know the exactly quantity!

hi, its made in china?

Answer: the gear ratio is 6.4:1

Answer: I think it's 6.3 to 1 but not 100% this reel is perfect for bass fishing and these are by far the best bait casting reels on the market there just plain awsome I've used more expensive ones and they suck compared to the revo. Weather your casting with the 3 brakes on or pitching with 6brakes on its almost impossible to get a backlash.

Answer: Do not buy thus is not a quality seller my reel broke after the first year or use.

Answer: I'm not really sure, but it's 6.4:1

can you use in salt water?

Answer: Not a good idea. This is a fresh water reel, smaller salt water fish it can handle but you will have to break it down and completely clean everything after every use because the salt will destroy the reel quickly if you do not.

Should i get the revo s or the revo sx?

Answer: I have the revo s. A very light, smooth reel. Im very pleased with it.

Answer: Both reels are great! But i feel the revo s is one of the best reels money can buy!!!

Answer: Yes, I have owned several of theses reels but I like the s better but both are good .They have great retrieve and last for a long time. Very smooth casting, I believe you will be satisfied.

Can you run 20 lbs line on the Revco reels? I've noticed that "Max" reels say 12 lbs mono.

Answer: Yes...my 15 year old who is an avid fisherman says you can do it. He says he runs 2o lb on his. He has many different reels and tons of fishing experience. Good luck.

Answer: Of course you can. You can use whatever lb test you want to use. It will, of course, affect how much line the reel will hold. The reel will easily hold enough 20lb test mono to "be useful".

Answer: If you use braided, then yes. Mono might work, but you couldn't spool enough on the reel to be useful.

Answer: Use proline braided line its smaller in diameter and tough and sensitive you can thank me later

Answer: No

Answer: Yes

Product reviews of Abu Garcia Revo4 S Reel

Amazon Customer : Smooth as Glass

Good reel for the price. I now have 2 rod and reel combos paired with the Veritas 2.0 rods. Excellent all purpose set up. Works great from crank baits to worm fishing. You will not be disappointed.

Amy Ford : Abu Garcia Revo S

My husband loved this reel! Item was exactly as described and received quickly. He has already used the reel several times and is quite pleased.

Jeepgarden : Very simple and easy to cast

My first bait caster ever. Very simple and easy to cast. Landed a 35" northern pike with it yesterday evening with ease. Mounted on a 6'6" med casting rod with 10lb seaguar floro. This is my second third Abu Garcia and second revo S. Reel. I also have the spinning version. Couldn't be happier with both!

Lando : Five Stars

Nice style. Looks and feels good. Not used yet. Will leave review as soon as I use it.

Julie Bowling Miller : Five Stars

Gift , my husband loves this reel

Ron : Well built quality reel

This reel is everything I was expecting it to be it is a performer the drag function on this works well and is easy to adjust on the fly while fighting with a fish when you need to let it run a bit to tire out.

The centrifugal braking system works well it does take longer to adjust than say the revo sx. I noticed once it’s set to the weight or lures you are using it rarely has to be reset and I have rarely have had any backlash from this reel.

I only gave it 4 stars because I also have the revo sx and like the way that performs much better than this one it is also more expensive. I would say if it is in your budget go with the revo sx. If the sx is not in your range this is a solid reel and at this price range it’s one of the best you’ll find

christian : Amazing Product

Made over 1000 casts on my fishing trip and this reel is so damn smooth! Once in tune I can whip my rod without any worrys of backlash. I recommend this reel to any one!!!

ludwing camargo : I dont recommend

i Don’t know if I'm not lucky, but this reel has a lot of problems, I have to send back to the manufacture because it doesn’t work ok. I send it back 30 days before I buy.

Earl : Five Stars

love the Revo product line.

JR : Good reel, rely on youtube for proper drag adjustment

Nice reel for the money. It's far from their bottom of the bucket reels but not quite the top of the line. Revo S is a good compromise at a decent price. The reel could have a better manual and this is the reason that I give it five stars. Learn to properly adjust ALL drags (internal and external) on youtube.

Colby Watson : Great Reel!

The Abu Garcia Revo S is the cheapest Revo on the market. Trust me, it is a great reel. It feels like there is no way that it could be the cheapest Revo. It is best for throwing heavy baits, such as frogs, crankbaits, and Texas rigs. It is still fully capable of throwing trick worms and other such lightweight baits just fine. I have mine on a 7 foot veritos pole by Abu Garcia. My favorite rod for this reel. Plus, it looks sweet. Really smooth and lightweight design. I love it.

Miami (. : Five Stars

Very good

bubba : Five Stars

Another great fishing reel from Abu Garcia

cartel : Back it with mono and you're good to go

Hey bradley, your line is slipping on the spool! Let me guess, all braid? Back it with mono and you're good to go.

Dennis : I was told it was very good reel and they really liked it

Gave this has a gift. I was told it was very good reel and they really liked it.

Josh Mills : Revo reel

This reel is awesome

Jess : WOW

This is the 2nd Revo S I have purchased. Smooth, easy to cast & gives you the performance of a $250+ reel on a more affordable budget.
I would highly recommend spending the money to purchase one!

Amazon Customer : Seller isn’t so good

Bearings are shot and Company won’t contact back for warranty

Kitty : Great reel!

Super smooth! It's exactly what I expected. No problems so far.

JR : Good reel, rely on youtube for proper drag adjustment

awsomeusaraceli : great for the money

This reel is really good. Thats all i have to say really but the pitch centrifugal brakes are really hard to get into. The panel covering it is not broken in so be careful not to brake it . Overall amazing reel to put on a 7' medium heavy micro guide veritas. Also buy grips to improve the product

larry deboard : Five Stars

Smooth reel.

andy : but so far so good!

Just got it, but so far so good!

Amy Ford : Abu Garcia Revo S

My husband loved this reel! Item was exactly as described and received quickly. He has already used the reel several times and is quite pleased.

Gustavo Siecola : Exactly like I wanted

Top.... Exactly like I wanted...

Normal101 : Smooth!!!

Smooth action...works great...worth the money

Miami (. : Five Stars

Very good

Robert R. : Not good value for price

Nicely made reel
However I find it will not cast very far compared to my cheep Walmart spin cast reel(rhino).
Not with the price!

Jordan : Love this reel

Love this reel! The magnetic brake works great to fine tune your spool speed, and the 6 puck centrifugal brake is also incredibly effective. Set correctly, these two brake will all but eliminate backlashes and birdsnests with just a little bit of thumbing on your part. The low profile palms easily and it sits nice and low on the rod seat. In my opinion it's also one of the best looking reels on the market, I've paired mine with a Veritas rod and white braided line for the full Stormtrooper effect.

JR : Good reel, rely on youtube for proper drag adjustment

larry deboard : Five Stars

Smooth reel.

Runamuck : My first bait caster

Making this quick. Add the rod it's an insane fishing rig. I have no criticism for this reel. If you follow me reviews then you know this is a first.

K.M. : Worked great until the level wind broke

Worked great until the level wind broke. My fault though trying to catch saltwater bigguns with a bass reel. Abu customer service was great though, sent it in under warranty and they sent back a brand new reel.

simtso : Abu Garcia for life.

Abu Garcia for life. Use this reel as a spare, Great reel for the price. Good gear ratio, matched it with the Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 rod.

Jeepgarden : Very simple and easy to cast
