Breaking in the new Revo.

WaffleJaw · 04-13-10, 03:03 PM

I like it,I like it

Ive only fished it twice now,but it is definitely the smoothest casting reel I own....

I honestly didn't think it would be that noticeably different than my S.
but right off the bat,the casting ease was there...Ive had no issue with setting anything on this reel..(except for forgetting to properly set my drag

)

Bass was 2.7 taken on a white spinnerbait.

What is it with you and Black & Red? (I know....the colors of THE DEVIL!!

) Even your tackle bag is black and red box clips.

Seriously....goes very nicely with the rod (if not the tattoo LOL).

Nice fish too.....very dark though...you catch that one out of a Texas oil well catch basin?

You'll like the REVO. Between me and Doc, ABU should kick us some sponsor $$. The deck of my boat is littered with every model except an S.

Can I get in on that sponsorship money too?

I've got an STX, a Premier, a Winch, and a Toro Winch 61. All I need now is an SX, and I'll have scored the X-Craftic Jackpot!

Might as well count me in on some of that Abu money, seeing as how I won't buy a reel not made by them anymore.

Waffle,
That's a helluva good looking setup, and even a better looking fish. Congrats.

bamabassman · 04-13-10, 10:03 PM

Me too tn. All my reels and a couple of rods are ABU's.

keithdog · 04-14-10, 11:16 PM

Yeah, I love the Revo's too. Just broke in my new STX last weekend and it's a thing of beauty. That makes 3 Revos for me now. I can easily see a couple more on the horizon.
