ecmilley Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I picked up a new abu garcia revo sx 11 bearing reel wow this thing is smoooooth, it took a lbit of convincing seeing i am a big shimano fan but theis thing is everybit as good as my chronarchs can't wait to to throw some senkos with it. If your thinking of a new bait caster this reel deserves a serious look better than my new curados and picked it up on sale at Hirk's in courtice for 165 with a rod purchase (also can't wait to feel a big bucket pulling on the all-star rod i grabbed)
Drew_10 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I love Shimano Stradics when it comes to spinning gear, but for baitcasters, the Revo is the way to go IMO. A top of the line Abu Garcia for the price of a mid-range shimano. I hope you enjoy your new SX!
Dan668 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 i just picked up the revo stx. excellent reel imo. Liked it a lot better than the new curado.
Joeytier Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I'm in the market for a new baitcaster for a pitching outfit, and I'm leaning heavily towards the Curado. I like the Ambassadeurs, but I've had a TON of problems with Abu's spinning reels lately, so I'm unsure as to whether or not I want to give them another chance.
Dan668 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 well i have an older curado. both are good. the revo feels more solid, also got it because i prefer the magnetic braking system and it has a superior drag.
