Abu Garcia REVO Premier Generation 3 Casting Reel - $299.99

PRECISION ENGINEERING AT ITS FINEST

The new Abu Garcia Revo Premier Generation-3 Casting Reels feature a lighter, more compact design that crosses the sub six ounce barrier by utilizing advanced materials, including C6 Carbon sideplates and an upgraded carbon fiber handle. The Gen3 Premier’s new wider spool also further improves casting performance without increasing the overall width of the reel.

The brake system has even been upgraded to Abu Garcia’s IVCB-IV. This system is also used in the MGX, and provides precise control, whether casting heavy jigs or lightweight finesse baits.

-10 stainless steel HPCR bearings + 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection
-X2-Craftic alloy frame for increased corrosion resistance
-C6 carbon sideplates provide significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength and durability
-Carbon Matrix drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range
-D2 Gear Design provides a more efficient gear system while improving gear durability
-Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Brake gives very precise brake adjustments allowing anglers to easily cast a wide variety of baits.
-Infini II spool design for extended castability and extreme loads
-Compact bent carbon handle provides a more ergonomic design that is extremely lightweight
-Flat EVA knob provide greater comfort and durability

Comments: I only do reviews on things that stand out from whats expected. This reel is the best reel I have ever held. It is SUPER light, very smooth, and casts a mile when it is set right. The comments on the "noise" - this reel is like a fine woman, you must treat it right to get treated right in return. OIL THIS REEL! I put some quantum hot sause on mine and you cant even feel it.

From: Casey: East Texas

Comments: best reel I own, its super smooth and casts far, if your looking for the best reel out there its this one.

From: Hayden: Orangeburg, South Carolina

Comments: I bit the bullet last year and made the jump from a life time of fishing spinners to baitcasters, and I couldn't be happier! I climbed up the Revo ladder from the Revo S, to the SX, and now the Premier. The drastic improvements I felt in the SX VS S, we so awesome I just skipped the STX and went for the Premier. It has taken my fishing to whole new level I never thought possible. Everything I loved about the SX got a million times better with the Premier, it's super smooth and casts so far I need a scope to see where my lure landed! I don't know what all these guys are talking about, it's not loud by any means and I fish this reel almost every day! My current home has five private ponds on the property and I probably make at least one to two hundred casts a day, and I have yet to have any issues with this reel. Buy one, you'll be glad you did.

Comments: Look closely in two of the pictures, one pic says 11 bearings on the side and the other pic says 10 don't know why.

From: Joe: TX

Comments: I got this reel for Christmas and it was great and first but it got very noisy and rough after 1 day of light fishing, not quite sure but I think I got a defective one. Lews is the way to go!

From: Tyler: FL

Comments: Excellent, excellent, excellent reel. I use the one that I have for a lighter line application, puts baits into orbit. Will definitely be inserting another into the arsenal...

From: David: San Diego, CA

Comments: I love this reels the smoothness of this reel is amazing but for ome odd reason the buttons stciks here n there not quite sure if anybody else has this problem but overall great reel

From: Peter

Comments: Revos all the way. I bought the Premeir and the MGX and they are the ish. The castability is just amazing and how smooth the reels are is awesome. Super light and durable, i put my shimanos down after holding this, but dont get me wrong, shimanos are still good!

From: Rider: FL

Comments: Puts the Chronarch, Curado, even Core, all Shimano Reels to absolute shame with no contest. with the lefties at 18 pound drag pressure, the HPCR bearings, the 5.9oz Weight and the infamous IVCB-IV breaking system... theres no reason in the world not own an Abu and if you haven't tried one quit bashing them because your an idiot.... oh and btw KVD used quantum

From: Zac: MI

Comments: I have the previous version of Revo Premier and can honestly say I am glad that I bought it. I used the new model at my local tackle shop and can say that it feels much cheaper. It doesn't feel nearly as smooth or as refined.

From: Alex: Cleveland, Ohio

Comments: To be honest this years revos all dissapointed me other than the revo s. Premier is a waste of money the stx feels much much smoother. Shimano for the money still the best and the best durability. Idk just not impressed this year with the "Award Winning"" revos.

From: Cole: AZ

Comments: do someone know the drag power?

From: Josh: Amazon

Comments: I've never owned an Abu. Still don't, but I read up on just about everything. I'd like to point out the demo program available for reels, right here, on this page. Cast your eyes to the upper right hand corner in the gray area. Click on DEMO PROGRAM and you're home free.

From: Trio

Comments: i just got one today, took it out to test. comparing it to my mgx, u cant even feel the weight difference although the mgx is slightly smaller. the premier feels stronger and better built. both smooth, a bit noisy (not really) but i think thats because of the IVCB break system. both cast far but in my opinion the mgx cast a bit farther and is just a tad bit smoother. almost no difference. if u ask me, all i can tell you is, what the mgx lacks the premier has and what the premier lacks, the mgx has. so if you're someone who owns both like me. you'll know what im talking about. you'll have a sweet set up. let me point this out too. the foam grips are different i like the ones on the premier better. the mgx is my froggin n flippin and also finesse reel. the premier is my to go reel. i personally like the premier a bit more but both reels are great reels.

Comments: Very nice reel. Cast like a mile with this. A litttle loud when retrieving, but all the other qualities override something like that. The reel is very compact when holding it. It is smaller that the Daiwa Zillion. It is a little difficult to adjust to lighter baits with this reel. That's the only problem. I recommend this.

From: Stephen: Silver Springs, MD

Comments:  played with one last night... the reel locked up about once every ten pitches and you would have to smack it to engage it again... maybe its a fluke but im not happy with the one i got to use.

From: John: VA

Comments: He probably meant to say Mark Zona.  Mark Zona fishes Shimano.  Mark and KVD are practically the same person anyway; let's be real.  They just about finish each others sentences.  Probably dream about each other.  Just sayin'!

From: Joey: Texas baby!

Comments: I can say this much I only fish LEWS, but when it comes to cranking ABU is the way to go.  Love this REEL its smooth as can be, and the handle is amazing for cranking.  If your looking for the real deal you found it in a cranking reel.  Matched mine with the Veritas winch rod 7'6 LOVE IT!

From: Kyle: NC

Comments: I've used the chronarch for years, but not after using this reel. Its the best yet.

From: Mike: NJ

Comments: KVD use Quantum....

Comments: Get the chronarch over this any day i fish with KVD and Dave Mercer trust me get the chronarch

From: Jake: Ohio, US

Comments: I own both the MGX and the new Premier Gen.3 and i can say that the Premiere can give the MGX a fun for the money. Better drag and buttery smooth. While the MGX can cast light-weight baits a mile. If your looking between this and the Chronarch. Don't look any further, this is your choice

From: Taylor: Russellville, AR

Comments: Got the 6.4.1 right hand! SUPER SUPER LIGHT! Casts a country mile and the drag is amazing!!! WORTH the $!!!!

From: Jimmy: Claremore, OK

Comments: Get the Premier and you'll never look at a chronarch again

From: Mike: KS

Comments: Don't hesitate!!! Take the Revo! I am sure you won't regret, You will love it and buy more of them! ;)

From: Bobby: TX

Comments: I am in between the nice version of the chronarch and this, what do y'all think

Comments: i went to bass pro shops and held it and messed with it a litlle at the store and it was great! will be purchasing soon.
