Comments: First, wow. I love my two SX's in both gear ratios. Stop reading comments and put in 100 in the Quantity box and put em on the Veritas micro guide rod and rip some lips.. Out performs my CuradoE7. Good with braid, flouro and mono. Very smooth and one tip is to put a drop of lube in the worm gear after every 3-5 usages. Have casted small wackys to 1 ounce tungstens no problemo :-)
From: Logan: Jersey
Comments: Great combo with the Vendetta rod, As a testament to the combo i landed a 52 inch grass carp on 12 pound flouro ( sucker hooked him in the tail) with this combo, and it didnt miss a beat, the drag worked like a champ. ABU GARCIA FOR LIFE
From: Sam: Crestview, FL
Comments: The SX has all the features that you need in a high performance reel.My SX casts far and no backlash.Its durable structure allows you to handle any situation.Great Product!!!!!
From: Bert: North Augusta, SC
Comments: one of the best reels you could ever own
From: Justin: Grand Rapids, MI
Comments: I own 4 SX, 1 STX, 1 Premier and 3 curados. Besides weight, i think the SX is the best revo made. I can cast the SX and Curado about the same which is far better than i can cast the STX or Premier. The only reason i prefer the SX over the curado is because i can skip docks alot better with the SX. I hardly ever backlash while skipping or casting. The SX doesn't feel nearly as loose as the Curado neither.
From: SC
Comments: I have 2 Revo SX reels and I wouldn't trade either one for any other reel on the market. The Revo SX is the best reel in its price range. Super smooth casting and retrieve. I can cast mine over 50 yards easily with any lure that's >1/2oz. Once you get it fine tuned, it's nearly impossible to backlash, even casting into the wind.
From: Andy: Northeast, GA
Comments: i have both the curado and revo sx and they are both great reels not far off from each other i hardly ever have backlashes with either one the only big difference between the two is that the revo is solid feeling and the curado is loose feeling but that's not a huge deal i would recommend either one but if i was buying another reel i would buy this one
From: TX
Comments: If you are having trouble deciding between a Curado or a Revo SX, definitely go with the Curado. So much smoother and not to mention the fact that the Curado hardly ever backlashes. I have both and I do anything to trade this reel in for another Curado.
From: Trevor: IN
Comments: This reel isn't what people make it to be. Honestly i think its a piece of junk. Backlashes after 30 ft. The most finicky reel i have ever used in my entire civilized life. Do your self a favor and don't get this reel. Get a reel with "centrifugal brakes" Because i think the mags are botched design.
From: Joe: Montezuma, NY
Comments: This reel is absolutely awesome. It is so silky smooth, it casts a mile. The drag is a beast. I horsed a 7 ponder out of heavy slop no problem. I paired it with a St.croix mojo bass frog & slop rod. Their awsome together. I just bought the Revo Winch for deep divers, cant wait to try it out. Abu forever!
From: Shawn: Danville, NH
Comments: What a Great reel! I paired this up with the Dobbyn's Savvy and i tell you what! I feels very good! I have to admit! this reel feels smoother then my Zillion 50th and my Zillion Type R! If you are in the market for a nice reel and dont want to pay bucoo bucks on it! this reel will by the perfect reel for you!
From: Ryoji: Green Bay, WI
Comments: I've owned quite a few baitcast reels, but this one is my favorite. Who needs all the fancy cast controls? I mean honestly, if you can't cast without the brake all the way set, then you are missing out on your reels potential in my opinion. All I need is to be able to loosen and tighten the spool, along with a quick and easily accessed magnetic brake on the side. I feel shimano makes good stuff too, but these revo's just feel so good in your hand. They're kind of heavy, but when you set the hook and reel in your first nice fish with this reel you'll know what I mean. The bent handle design gives you great leverage and feels comfortable on retrieves as well. Drag is good and so is the line capacity. However, I have big hands. If you have smaller hands this reel might feel a little wide in your palm.
Comments: This is a great reel. It feels good in your hands and with the right settings it is almost impossible to backlash. The only thing that this reel can't do is throw small weightless plastics, but i would recommend it to anyone.
From: Luke: MO
Comments: I had been fishing a Revo S model for the last year and decided I wanted to step up a bit in quality to an SX. Mainly to try out the magnetic braking system on the SX as the S has a six pin centrifugal brake. The braking is much smoother as I am an early thumb type of caster. The pin brakes seem to come early as I thumb, but the mag brakes come on later and give a much smoother feel. The reel feels very solid and tight all around. The drag system is very good as well. I've pulled some three and four pound bass out of heavy salad topped with moss and had no trouble with slippage. I now have two SX models. One with 50lb power pro on a Vendetta H and it is the 7.1 speed. Another with 12lb P-line flouroclear on a MH rod an a normal 6.4 retrieve. Both I have had for a few months now and love them.
From: Todd: Hutchinson, KS
Comments: These reels are amazing, I own 3 and I've had em for abt a year and there still awesome. Revos are the smoothest and strongest reels on the market hands down. I LOVE them!
From: Samuel: Hahira, GA
Comments: I own four of these reels..I use them for Senkos andCrank Baits..people are amazed at how far you can throw a Senko
From: Bud: TX
Comments: best reel on the market!!!! better than the curado in every way except weight. so smooth, super quiet when casting and last a long time! i got 2 years on mine and its still just like it was the day it came out of the box. soooo smooth
Comments: this reel puts shimano to shame! better than the curado in every way except weight. its so smooth and very quite when casting. ive got 2 years on mine and its still just like the way it was out of the box. shimano who? curado what?
From: Colby: Pace, FL
Comments: Awesome Reel!!!..............
From: Kev: PA
Comments: I hate to say I only have one of these bad boys, and i have to say, this is heaven in a reel. The 7.1:1 ratio works frogs and jerk baits like a dream. Very satisfied with the quality and the look. I have full intention of owning more.
From: Ben: MS
Comments: This reel is the best i just got it and love it i also got a abu garcia vedetta rod to go with it and great combination..
From: Lane: Montgomery, AL
Comments: great reel. ive had the older version for a year now, but it works like it was made yesterday have it paired up with my falcon bucoo micro. its a match made in heaven!
From: Griffin: Indiana
Comments: I have 3 of these, and owned them for 3 years and they still work like new. It is my go to confident reel and pairs beautifully with a carrot stick. I pitch weightless senkos to jigs with this reel. It feels more sold than the Shimano 200EX, but these two reels both work great.
From: Brandon: Fayetteville, NC
Comments: I got my Revo SX today and it was like Christmas morning all over again. The first string i put on it was stern florocarbon but that did not work out to well. then i tried out this berkly mono and it is a whole lot better on casting. I paired it up with the venndetta 7'' med/heavy. But over all its a very good combo u just have to play with the settings to get it to how you like it. Have fun fishing !!!!!!
From: Brett: TN
Comments: Smooth reel and casts a country mile! It is very sensitive on the spool tensioner settings so one has to dial in very carefully per bait application. Mine came very, very over greased...to the point that it was even on the outside of the reel. I stripped mine down, purged the bearings and wiped out excess grease then relubed the bearings with Quantum Hot Sauce and put hot sauce grease on the gears. It is much smoother now than it was out of the box! Great reel!!
From: Bill: Flatwoods, KY
Comments: I now own 2 of these reels. Absolutely love them. I first picked one of these up while fishing with a friend, I was using a curado that I had recently bought and he was using his revo sx, we swapped for an hour, and I really didn't want to give the revo back to him. After that I went back and returned the curado and bought 1 in the 6:4:1 ratio paired with a 7' Vendetta, love the reel so much I went and bought a second one int he 7:1:1 ratio with a 7'3" Veritas. Both reels use Sufix 832 40LB braid. ABU GARCIA FOR LIFE
From: Mike: Waukesha, WI
Comments: I have just about every reel out there but when it comes down to it this is what I'm using day in and day out. Whether I'm throwing 1/4 ounce jigs into the wind or big spinnerbaits it gets the job done. I've got 5 of these and I've only had one break... after 5 years of usage.
Comments: ok this is a nice reel but dont make the same mistake as me lol.......i bought this reel for throwing weightless senkos......it cannot handle it they are too light to be throwing with this reel so i had to switch this with a quantum energy pt and i can cast senkos fine....but do not let that stop you from buying this its an awesome reel for throwing texas rigs it casts them a mile and effortlessly
From: Candlewood: Connecticut
Comments: The Revo Sx, reel for reel, is one of the best in my arsenal. Performs like some 200 dollar models and then some. Out casts the Shimano Currado 300 E and gives The Quantum Smoke a hard run for the money. I have it paired with a Med Bucoo Falcon rod with micro guides and use the 832 Suffix Braid. Bass and catfish have been no contest. Im going to test my tackle on reds and stripers in the coming weeks. If you dont have one...get one...This reel kicks BASS!!
From: Charlie: Austin, TX
Comments: I recently return my quantum code reel because i didnt like it it was making all kind of weard noices and every cast = backlash and i bought this reel and a medium 7 feet veritas rod i love it really smooth retrive and casts so smooth like butter and the best part no backlashes LOL!!!!!! i strongly recommend this reel !!! ABU GARCIA FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Kostas: USA
Comments: This reel is so smooth and cast a mile! i got it paired up with a duckett and its a match made in heaven!
Comments: Really good reel. I own the 6.4.1 in a left handed model. It's great with big baits and casts pretty smooth. I like everything about it. I just wished the reel handle was a bit longer....
From: Tpheng: Tulsa, OK
Comments: Buy 3 you wont be let down. Own the STX also, blindfolded you wouldnt tell any differance. High quality very smoothe, and abu honors their warranty.
From: Nick: LOZ, MO
Comments: Love this reel. I own 3 now. Casts like a charm and has a very smooth retrieve. Worth ever penny!
From: Jason: Alabama, USA
Comments: Love the SX
From: Ryan: Illinois, USA
Comments: This is a great reel. I have the SX, STX, and Winch and am impressed with all! Paired with ESSOX rods these reels make killer combos! The SX is my favorite for spinnerbait fishing and I LOVE fishing it. The SX casts far into the wind with no backlash what so ever! GREAT REEL!!
From: Jason: Florence, SC
Comments: This real is amazzing!! im not going to lie if you want a fantastic real for the price this is it! its VERY smooth. It casts amazing. I went with the 7.1:1 for a little bit more speed really rip the spinner baits. Im impressed by this real and will forsure get another before summer!
From: Tom: Fremont, WI
Comments: A solid performer, but you need to really pay attention when dialing in the settings for the lure you're casting. Not as forgiving as the premier. Wish they would have kept the straight handle or made the swept one a little longer.
From: John: St Louis, MO
Comments: I agree with Daniel from NC, use any REVO series from Abu and you will not be let down. I personally own the SX and STX and do not regret it AT ALL! I have also used the Premier, Revo Winch, and Revo Inshore and am impressed by all of them! Next purchase will probably be a REVO Inshore for calicos and big largies here in SoCal. Another GREAT product from Abu Garcia
From: MAQ: Los Angeles, CA
Comments: Ultra smoooottthh I have this paired with a falcon low-rider and it is a combo sent from heaven my favorite
From: John: Camdenton, MO
Comments: SMOOTH! just got it yesterday and havent had a chance to take it out yet but this thing is smooth!
From: Garret: Indiana, USA
Comments: excellent reel casts a mile reels smooth has a very strong drag i have it paired with 7' 3" vendetta for fishing toads they feel really comfortable together and look pretty sexy too
From: Humpty: Florida, USA
Comments: Get any Abu Garcia REVO series, and you will not regret it. Abu has the highest quality product Ive ever had. My father still uses his Abu 5000c from 1970, works like a charm and casts a mile. Great great product.
From: Daniel: NC
Comments: this reel performs like a hundred dollar reel, ill stick with shimano.
From: Donald: Everglades, FL
Comments: i bought this reel about 4 month ago and combo it with a fenwick techna av. it performs great and it is a little heavy but its performances outweighs its weight.
From: Hmong 2: Arkansas, USA
Comments: i love this reel. its amazing, i have it paired up with a 6 6" med. hvy. vendetta rod. it also has great backlash control, cause i have had it for 3 months now and i have had only about 6 backlashes of wich were not bad at all. the first time i went fishing with this reel and rod combo i was using a black and blue A.T. football jig trailed with a crazy legs chigger craw (also in black and blue) and i caught a 5 1/2 pounder on deep weed lines. awesome reel, highly recommended by me
From: Jared: USA
Comments: I just recently bought this reel, but i love it, i got it as a jig reel with a 7' MH vendetta, and its awesome. love the colors of the two and i actually got some red braid at first just for looks, but i changed back to some fluoro, but i love this reel!
From: Ryan: Wilmington, NC
Comments: Great reel, using mine on a 7'3'' vendetta for Northern Pike fishing with soft/hard jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and cranks, still smooth after 2 years of fishing. Great value reel, would pick it over curado any day.
From: Mark: Gothenburg, Sweden
Comments: This reel is great, paired on a Kistler rod and you will have the perfect combo. I have mine on a Helium II and there is no play in the spool, no flex in the frame and no slipping. the drag is sweet also it will give you the muscle to rip lipless in grass pull a bass out of heavy cover or steer a stubborn bucket mouth away from the mess. I have the HS model on a kistler 7'3 frog and slop rod and OMG ITS SICK!!!
From: Bryan: Wilmington, NC
Comments: Great reel! The handling and gear ratio allows quick and efficient power to pull fish out of heavy cover. The craftsmanship is top notch, especially for the price! Could not have made a better choice.
From: Johnathan: Atlanta, GA
Comments: Amazing baitcaster. very smooth at casting, might not be as smooth as diawa reels when you reel in. but for my age its the best baitcaster ive used. also its a great pair with the 6''6 medium vendetta rod. plus im only 12 year old.
From: Brandon: Atlanta, GA
Comments: This reel is great, feels and fits awesomely in your hand, not too heavy, casts well and reels very smooth. All around great reel for the $, stylish as well. I would definitely buy another and probably will.
From: Matt: Massachusetts, USA
Comments: Used for the first time today on Crooked Lake in Lake Wales, FL. I was amazed at how smooth it cast! Didn't land any fish in the boat, but hung three! Paired it nicely with a G Loomis GL2! Can't wait to actually break this reel in with a big Florida bass!
From: Shuey: Riverview, FL
Comments: I just purchased this reel a few months ago just as it was released. It is very smooth and it performed very well matched with the 7'3" Vendetta rod ! It looks and feels great in your hand! Spool it up with Seaguar fluorocarbon, tie on a Eakins jig, use a sweet beaver as a trailer and its ready for a big ole mossyjaw! Sweet!!
From: Michael: Ripley, TN
Comments:just got it, fished with it all day and it performed well. Just feels good in the hands.
From:Kyle: Oklahoma, USA
Comments:Pretty decent reel, I have it paired up with a Dobyn's 7'3" med-heavy rod, and the combo looks super sick with the black and red.
From:Hmong: Central California
Comments:Great reel, have it matched up with a vendetta rod great combo. very light.
