Questions about Abu Garcia Revo Rocket Low Profile Baitcast Fishing Reel
Q:
Abugarcia website doesnt even have this in stock. They say its new and wont be avail not until 9/10/18. How are you selling it already? Clone?
Answer: This is 2020. 2018 is long gone.
Q:
I reel in with my left hand, rod in my right hand, not sure which one to pick right hand or left hand?
Answer: Pick the left hand unit if you reel with your left hand on a conventional reel. Its the opposite for a left handed spinning reel which you would hold the rod in your left hand and reel with the right hand. Can't explain why.....it just is...
Answer: For years I would fish a bait caster opposite of the way I fished a spinning or spincast reel, that was when I fished with a spinning reel and spincast that is cast with my right hand and reel with my left, and bait caster I would cast with my right switch my left and reel with my right hand, for years that's what people told me to do even though it did not make sense if I typacally reeled with my left and casted with my right hand... BOTTOM LINE IS GET A LEFT HANDED REEL IF YOU ARE RIGHT HANDDED... And opposite if you are left handed
Answer: So, I was the same.
Answer: I throw with my right and reel with my left so I don't have to switch hands with the rod like so many right handed people do.
Answer: Pick Left hand. Best Regards.
Answer: Left handed.
Answer: Left Handed

Q:
Picture shows gen 3 item description shows gen 4 ? Which one is it?
Answer: Very smooth and fast
Q:
yes, since you have a left and right hand profile for new bait caster reels,do you worry about aleft or right handed fishinf pole,Why?
Answer: I am going to answer this question as if it's a serious question from someone who has never fished. I have never heard of a specific rod that is right or left handed. Fishing rods from Abu work for both reel types. Now to the next point a left or right hand reel is not based upon what your dominant hand may be but fishing style or what is more comfortable for you. For example I am left handed but I use right hand retrieve reels. This way I don't have to switch hands when I get ready to cast and for those lucky times when I get a bit as soon as the bait hits the water I am ready to set the hook.
Answer: As addressed by others - funny.
Answer: As addressed by others - funny.
Answer: For balance you have to have a right handed pole for a left handed reel
Answer: No, poles do not require left or right handed designation. All poles can be used by left or right handed users.
Answer: Very funny .. if I were you I would stay with a Zebco 33.

Does this reel have a 10.1 speed? Picture shows 9.1???
Answer: The newest model the Revo4 Rocket has gear ratio of 10.1:1
Answer: Mine has 10.1 ratio
Answer: Mine is 9.0:1 that I bought a few years ago. I use it for float fishing for steelhead. Great reel, very happy with it.
Answer: I've had mine a few years and its 9.1 unless they have updated them.
Answer: It depends on model i have 9to1 the new models which are 3rd or 4th gen rockets are 10to1 just gotta find right model number
Answer: 9.1
Answer: Each turn of the crank moved the lure 41 inches closer. Actual measurement on my part.
Q:
Could this handle throwing 3 ounce swim baits ?
Answer: You don't want to use a reel with such a high ratio for swimbaits. You want to use one that's around 5.4:1 or 6.1:1 for any swimbaits. If you're throwing jigs, then this is the reel you'd want.
Answer: It is always easier to reel a far reel slower than make a slow reel faster. Yes it will with great for everything you want to use it for, you just need to understand what it is your throwing and it's best presentation.
Answer: I wouldn't recommend it.
Q:
what is the capacity of powerpro line?
Answer: It depends on line thickness and line type (multi X mono X nylon X fluor-carbon, etc.)
Q:
The pictures show a 9:1 ratio, but the model number says it’s the Revo 4, which is it?
Answer: The Gear Ratio is 10:1
Answer: I have the Revo 3 with 9.0:1 ratio.
Q:
Does this reel have brass gears?
Answer: The main gear is plastic. Many of the reels components are plastic including the reel seat. I use this reel on my 10 1/2 foot float rod loaded with 50 lb. superline for winter run steelhead as well as silver salmon with no problems. If you use it for bass, there should be no problem either. Many of todays plastics are much stronger then years ago.
Answer: I'm not sure... but the reel is junk. Put your money towards a Curado DC or SLX DC, you'll LOVE that reel!
Q:
Hi, Where is it made?
Q:
As I can see this reel was launched back in 2014, is it still a good choice or it's considered old somehow?
Answer: Great reel, they will keep coming out with new models each year. I have a Revo SX and a Revo MGX that are both several years old and as long as you maintain them they still work great.
Answer: Absolutely not, this reel is still amazing. It’s built very well. The line recovery is unreal and great for recasting after missing a opportunity to bring a fish in. I paired mine with a lews tp1 speed stick and it’s amazing, I’ve received so many compliments on my setup. Great buy and worth every penny.
Q:
What is the gear ratio for abu revorocket?
Answer: 10.1:1
Q:
why does the price go up on a right hand reel and the price is cheeper to get a lift hand reel is it harder to make a right hand reel then a left hand
Q:
Is this a good reel for a flipping stick for bass in the lilly pads and thicker cover?
Answer: yes, this a very smooth powerful reel with great retrieving distance pre crank.
Answer: For me yes. The fast line take up is great. But be aware. If you want to lock the drag down its takes pliers. You can't crank it down tight with your fingers.
Q:
Is it salt water approved?
Answer: I own two of these reels and only use them in salt water, no problems.
Answer: No
Q:
How big is the spool
Q:
Can i use this reel in saltwater?
Answer: Ivan,
Answer: Prefer not to because it is a freshwater reel.
Answer: I would not, but because it is small for saltwater fish. it is an excellent product, though. I just love it.
Q:
Is there anyway to get a Japan made of this reel. I've seen most of the revo made in other country, will it differ in term of built and performance.

André Julio Neves Cesar Leal : Five Stars
Very fast
Steveareno : Look and feel of quality
I ordered this at a great price. This reel looks and feels like a million dollars. The paint job, the smoothness, the whole feel of light though clearly strong. I ordered it in winter so I have not had chance to use it yet, but anticipate it being well worth the money. In the last couple of years I have had 8 reels in the high end range (100-400) and this is the best looking one. I can't wait to use it..
That one angler : sleek and very comfortable to cast and reel
I have wanted this reel for years now but Never actually came around to buying it until not too long ago. WORTH EVERY LAST CENT. It is lightweight, sleek and very comfortable to cast and reel. It feels very comfortable in the hand. This reel not only looks amazing, but feels amazing. I love the quality Abu Garcia puts into every reel. I highly recommend this reel.
T. Rourke : Abu Garcia REVO Rocket Low Profile Reel

Bad ass,
MichaelR : I am happy to have it
I have it three years. The best fishing reel I ever had. Caught a lot of salmon. never had problem
James M. Chmielewski : Quicker Picker Upper!!!!
Let me start by saying this is one of nine Abu Garcia reels that I own, from MGX, Premier, STX, SX Spinning, and a Winch and now the ROCKET!! This is by far the fastest reel I have ever used and the breaking system is also very good, along with the longer carbon fiber handle this thing is very comfortable in the hand. I use mine on a St Croix Mojo Bass "jerkbait-topwater" rod and love the way this reel has made both my topwater walking the dog action as well as my jerkbait action so much better. I believe I'm getting more reaction strikes with the speed this reel picks up line and I know I'm covering more water faster. I'm planning on getting another for my buzz bait and spinnerbait rod in the future. My only complaint is their is no lube port like all my other Abu Garcia reels. I change all my stock bearing out to Boca Orange Seal ceramic bearings and I am sure this adds yards to all my cast!!! Abu Garcia for life!!!!!!!!!!
Xing Chang : Defective item
I purchased 2 reels and one of the reels had a deep scratch on the side of the reel snd one side of the box seems to be tampered with. Not satisfied at all. When you buy something you expect it to be in great shape!
MichaelR : I am happy to have it
I have it three years. The best fishing reel I ever had. Caught a lot of salmon. never had problem
John J. Smith : Rocket review
I live in Massachusetts, and this time of the year the water is to hard to try the reel.
But I'm definitiely psychoed to try it.
Nicholas Johnson : Fast!
Lightning fast and very smooth. Great for topwater or flippin and pitching.
greenemann : Not impressed by performance or build quality
I'm not impressed by its performance or build quality.
Threw a little to dial it in. Took it out and fished it for about 3 hours. Put it down and picked up one of my Shimano Curado 201hg. No comparison. The Shimano casts better and is much smoother on the wind. The speed difference is impressive on paper but virtually unnoticeable even when fishing high speed topwater. Same for the drag rating. The Abu claims more drag but I've never locked down the drag on my Curados and that includes fighting loads of double digit peacock bass and barramundi over 20#.
I would have packed it up and returned it immediately after holding it the first time if I'd paid the $299 msrp. For $150 I decided to give it a chance. Should have returned it.
Offered it to our guide as a tip. He declined. Said he'd never use it.
Ross v. : Will update review once replacement arrives.
The product box was dirty and scratched up. Did not look new. Inside the box the reel had dust all over it and it had small amounts of carosion on the bottom running along where the red alloy meets the grey frame. I ordered a replacement and will update my review once replacement arrives.

Amazonian : ... is my first time owning a bait casting reel like this. So far I really live this reel
I'm new to bass fishing and this is my first time owning a bait casting reel like this. So far I really live this reel. It looks very durable and I love that your able to reel in 37in of line with just one complete turn.... Sick!. I do look forward to writing another review about this reel once I've had more time with it. Also I was thinking about pairing it with the veracity reel by Abu Garcia, but I think i will go with the lews tp1 speed stick. Even though I think it would look better with the veracity. Hell I might just buy both.

S. Rivera : WOW!! What a gorgeous piece of machinery!
I was lucky enough to get one of these "Revo Rocket 10.1:1" monster reels from AbuGarcia and I couldn't be happier. The construction and engineering of this thing is top notch. It truly is a Rocket. Once you start reeling it in, you are done in the blink of an eye. Its great for flipping and pitching. I also use it for frogging. I paired it up with a 7'-6" Heavy Fast AbuGarcia Vengeance baitcasting rod. They work great together but I feel the reel deserves a better rod. Might get an AbuGarcia Villain with the same specs. The reel itself is very smooth and reminds me of my AbuGarcia Revo Premier. It is very similar in feel and materials. Very lightweight and good looking. But most importantly, it cast a mile. That alone is worth its weight in gold, not to mention all the rest of the positives. It is a reel that I will be using for a long time to come. The components are high end/professional grade. Bracking system is great and the spool is lightweight. Spool tension is easy to use and retrieve is as smooth as butter. The drag system is strong and reliable. Excellent for tournament level fishing. When you need that fast retrieve, you can't beat this reel. Remember, you get what you pay for.
So!! Gettchaself one!! or two!! or three!!
MCARTERMLR : Great reel...
Great! I have bought a couple of theses. They are very smooth casting and reeling. Would by several.
