Comments: Awesome reel. Very smooth, casts very far, ifini brakes makes it hard to backlash. I fished in 20mph wind all day and no backlash at all.

Comments: This powerhoused a 25 pound common carp with no issues. If you wanna make the one that got away history, buy a Revo Winch.

From: Charles: CT

Comments: Can you say bulletproof? A complete and total workhorse. The most solid reel I've ever owned. I throw big crankbaits and swimbaits with this one and see no reason to look for anything else. I own the original Winch and if it ever decides to give out I'll replace it with the Gen 3 - but I don't see that happening anytime soon!

From: Scott

Comments: @VR yes it should handle those big baits and fish no prob (I wouldn't recommend blades, only harbaits/plastics), down in NM we have a premier Tiger Muskie fishery and I use my revos (SX & STX) to catch em no prob. Hope that helps.

Comments: All I can say is BUTTER. The best cranking reel on the market without a doubt. If your thinking about getting this reel and arent sure.... Im telling you to add this to your setup now! you wont regret it garunteed.

From: Brandon: K3 Illinois

Comments: I love this reel! It handled any lure i chucked It is a freaking work horse. Paired with a shimano clarus it is deadly

From: Robert: Richmond, VA

Comments: Brad you should definitely go with this reel if you want a cranking reel! Abu made this specifically for that purpose!

From: Ethan: KS

Comments: I own a few Revo's to date, and I am in love with my SX's. Being a college angler I look to stretch my buck, with that being said I need a new cranking reel, but I want one that will stretch across the board from my deep divers to my 6 to 9 foot range and in between. Would the new winch be alright for throwing my shallower cranks as well?

From: Brad: Morris, AL

Comments: i know this is mainly a bass site but does anyone know if this reel will handle 8-12" baits and alot of hard muskie fishing?

From: VR: Canada

Comments: This thing is a beast! I'm a Daiwa guy, but I have nothing but praise for this reel. Throwing 6" and retrieving 6" Hudd ROF 12's is a breeze with this reel. Abu has it locked up for a low-pro, compact reel that still has GUTS! All this and less than 7 oz, too!

Comments: Love this reel. My first Abu, and I must say, I think it is very well made.  I usually fish Shimano, and I still like my Curado just fine, but this reel feels better made. I have it with 65 lbs braid on a iRod Bubs punch rod 7'11". Great reel

From: Cody: Chatsworth, GA

Comments: Small profile reel with HUGE handles that make winding that A-Rig all day easy. Sweet reel

From: Scott: Roseville, CA

Comments: Amazing reel. I used this all day to day extremely windy and not a single backlash and I do that pretty often. You can use this all day long on a deep diver or something else that has a lot of resistence baits and not even notice. I paired it up with a Shimano crucial crankbait rod the 7" 2' version.

From: Tyler: AL

Comments: One bad mother! This is a beast. I am shocked w/ how light it is but yet strong. It has so much torque that even after reeling in a 4 oz swimbait all day or deep cranking with a DD22, it is effortless. You can barely feel the lure, but just enough that you can feel the bait working, but not your wrist and reel working. I am SOLD and will be ordering 2 more. I might even get one for flipping, it is just TOUGH.

From: Brent: San Diego, CA

Comments: More so a question then a review. Anybody know what size of Boca bearings fit this Winch?

Comments: freakin love this reel for alabama rigs with 65 braid and love it for deep cranking in the winter time if you are looking for a reel this is way worth the money.

From: Ian: AZ

Comments: I have all the other Revo series reels, and love them all. But this new "winch" is unbelievable! A freakin workhorse. Never thought cranckin all day could be so comfortable. Wont be disappointed
