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
X2-Crftic alloy frame for increased corrosion resistance

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?

What is line capacity

Answer: Plenty. Good reel.

Does this make that electronic sound or not?

Answer: Yes, this can be used in saltwater fishing.

What gen is it?

whats the gear ratio?

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

Dee : Outstanding Reel

This is the 6th one of these reels that I have purchased and are the best that I have ever used. So far no problems with any of them and I promise Abu Garcia will stand behind their products.

elayard go to the he gZwwe' %%",8 : Quality reel for pike lure fishing!

I bought two of these reels at the start of the summer for my pike lure fishing and I could not have asked for more. The casting range with 50lb braid more then enough, they very smooth with all type lures - jigs, soft baits (even weightless), spinner baits and crank-baits. All around its a great reel for price and they look really good too! I would recommended them to anyone.

Michael D. : So......

Got one that slipped through QC i guess seems to be the norm these days,so tired of spending hard earned money on hit and miss junk......

coop : Revo S gen 3

great price for a great reel. gave to son for a gift. he was very pleased with it's smoothness.
I have 4 of same already and have used AbuGarcia products since the 60's.

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!

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

Julie Bowling Miller : Five Stars

Gift , my husband loves this reel

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!

Jess : WOW

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.

Another great fishing reel from Abu Garcia

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.

Nat : Five Stars

Best reel ever

TNscooter : Cast so far, not enough spool

Very much love this reel. It is smooth as silk. It can be a bit picky when when you change lures sizes. You will need to make slight adjustments so it won't backlash. You can make the adjustments within a matter of seconds and you are back to fishing. It is very low profile and confortable in my hand. I have this on a 9ft. extra-heavy rod to fish musky and stripers. I can cast this thing a mile when setup right. Sometimes I really just don't believe how far it cast. I almost hit a boat one time when I was fishing off the bank and I didn't think there would be any way in the world I could get close to him, My lure lure landed about 3 ft from the side of his boat. Which leads me to my only complaint. The spool is not large enough to hold enough line. I originally had 50lb braid on this reel. After just a few snags and having to cut a little bit of line off each time I was running out of line on my casts. When it came time to replace it because I couldn't make a full cast anymore I put 30lb braid to see if I could get a little more life out of it. It has lasted longer but one snag where you have to cut line and it makes a noticeable difference. It is an acceptable flaw. I do have one more minor complaint. The instructions, as with every ABU Garcia, is not very detailed. I would like to see more detail on maintenance and some information on how the braking systems work, how to activate them and what not. I was able to find what I needed on YouTube.com so not a real big issue. All in all I would buy this again.

edobie : Five Stars

What a great reel, with out all the gadgets

Nat : Five Stars

Best reel ever

Yovani : One of my favorite reels

This real matched up with Veritas 2.0 7ft MH make a perfect pair it cast far and reels in very smooth with 20# drag this is more then enough with some over kill added if your bass fishing it will pull in the biggest bass easy I haven't caught anything huge on it yet but it has promising potential
someone said the Revo s doesn't hold a lot of line well I use 15# mono it holds 102 yards that sounds good to me I never seen or heard of bass/stripper running more then 20 yards unless your using ultra light cheap gear so if you cast out 75 yards you'll be okay

robert cashimere : Good reel at the right price

Got this reel thru an amazon warehouse sale. It was a little more scratched up than I would have liked due to the previous owner removing line without much care. But it is a very smooth and good looking reel. I love the way it feels. I also own a revo stx and at the moment I prefer this reel.
