ecmilley Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_10 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
