Abu Garcia REVO Winch Casting Reel - $199.99
The Abu Garcia Revo Winch was designed to provide pure cranking power and brute strength. The two main ingredients for the Winch's power and strength are the 5.4:1 gear ratio and the extra tough Duragear brass gears. The Revo Winch is built to withstand corrosive elements, the X-Craftic Alloy frame and side plates provide outer corrosion resistance while the HPCR Bearings provide internal movement protection. The HPCR Bearings also give the Winch increased durability and smoothness. The Carbon Matrix Drag System is rated up to 24lbs to handle the monsters of the deep.
Abu Garcia has made another leap forward in their Revo series with the addition of the Winch. The deeper spool of the Winch allows for more line and longer casts. The Revo Winch is ideal for deep water reaction bait applications such as deep crankbaits, spinnerbaits and swimbaits. The Revo Winch meets the demands of anglers looking for cranking power and strength.

Comments: When I first started using the reel I could not believe how buttery smooth it is. I would have to look down to make sure I was reeling in. lol I have a Shimano Curado E5 and it smokes it in smoothness. You cannot feel the gears like you would in the Shimano. Plus the drag system is just beastly. I paired it with a Shimano Cumara CUC77M. Absolutely dream crankbait set up. If your looking for a cranking reel I would choose this over the Shimano E5.

From: Garrett: MI
Comments: Best Cranking reel on the market. Put this on a 7'11 Cumara for DD22's it simply cannot be beat.
Comments: Paired this reel with a Shimano 7'11" Crucial crankbait rod and use this outfit to throw the 3/4 oz. Red Eye Shad. Absolutely invincible with 30lb. test Power pro line and bass to 11lbs. in the Cal Delta.
From: LJ: Sac, CA
Comments: Love this reel! One of the smoothest and quietest operating reels I own. Super tough as well Love the longer handle. Bought this and a Shimano Curado E5, both are great but this is my favorite due to smoothness and toughness.
From: Robert: Davenport
Comments: great reel, for the money you can't beat it. I use the winch for salmon, caught a loto chum, and one 32 pound king. Drag is great, cast smoothly and comfortable in your palm..I have the curados 2 and 3's, the winch outmatches them by a long shot,,,,,, great reel
From: Fred: Seattle, WA
Comments: Awesome reel for the money. My one and only complaint is durability on the finish. I have 3 about 1 yr old and they look like some of my old shimanos. That being said i love the 5.4 gear ratio which is ideal for slower presentations and almost makes the us stop and slow down. This is a very versatile reel that i also throw smaller lucky craft pointer stick baits with and do pretty well and backlashes are minimal. I do not like that you have to take the cover off to adjust the magnetic brake and this one in particular is confusing. all in all i give it an 8 out of 10
From: Scott: Albany, NY
Comments: I love this reel, i have landed bass all the way to six pounds on this reel, with only eight pound fluorocarbon. Very good drag system, very smooth reel. Has the most torque than any other reel I have had.
From: James: Orange, VA
Comments: I just purchased this reel for selective crankbait fishing. It is likely the best crankbait reel on the market! Silky smooth and handles big cranks very well! I paired mine with a Falcon (Mark Davis Edition) crankbait special spooled with Seaguar flurocarbon and i love it!Thanks!
From: Michael: Ripley, TN
Comments:I recently demoed this reel and was very impressed. It's incredibly smooth, casts like a dream, and rarely, if ever, backlashes. The oversize handles are comfortable, and it doesn't weigh much. Can't think of a reason not to buy one.
From:David: Atkinson, NH
Comments: This reel is a must if you want to sharpen your cranking skills as an angler. I bought two of these reels and immediately fell in love with them!!! If you want to step your game up, then Abu Garcia is the way to go.....
From:Robert: Virginia Beach, VA
Comments:This reel is great for crankbait fishing. I have it on a G.Loomis 7' medium-heavy crankbait rod. It is terrific for deep-diving crankbaits. I've also found this combination is great for shallow cranking timber. With the stiffer rod, you can steer your lure thru limbs or down a tree trunk. This reel gives you the power to get the big fish turned and out of the thick stuff. In my opinion, this reel is a must for any serious crankbait fisherman.
From:Joel: East Canton, OH
Comments:These reels are great! I paired it with a Denali crankbait rod. It is smooth, the oversized handle is great for throwing a deep diving crankbait all day, its a breeze! Just like the other Revo's, it is a top quality reel.
From:TM: Centre, AL
Comments:One of the best reels I have. It is just as smooth as the STX if not more. Really good for slow rolling spinnerbaits and keeping baits low in the water. I have the Winch on a Powell 703CB and its one of my favorite combos. I recommend this reel to anyone who likes to throw big crankbaits or slow rolling spinnerbaits.
