Revo STX

Published on March 25, 2009 by Scott Underwood
On a recent trip to Stillhouse Hollow Lake in central Texas, I had a problem with one of my reels. It was on the tail end of its life expectancy, so rather than try to repair anything I took a trip to the Academy in Temple, Texas.I’m not normally a picky shopper. Being male, I tend to grab whatever will fill the bill and head for the check out counter. But this was serious business. For me, picking a reel is a long term investment; more like picking a wife than a gallon of milk. So I had them pull out all the low-profile baitcast reels in the $100 to $300 range.As soon as I touched the Revo STX, I was in love. Nothing else felt quite as nice in my hand. Nothing was smoother, and nothing was quieter. Once I got it on the water, I knew I had made the right choice. The spool tension and backlash control are terrific, and the drag is smoother than any reel I’ve used.If you’re in the market for a new baitcast reel this season, pick up a Revo STX before your next New Mexico fishing trip.Here’s what Bass Pro Shops  has to say:

Abu Garcia Revo STX Low-Profile Baitcast Reel Abu Garcia Revo STX Low-Profile Baitcast ReelA revolutionary low-profile reel, the Abu Garcia Revo STX Low-Profile Baitcast Reel is ultra-light, comfortable and powerful enough to work over just about anything you hook. One of Abu Garcia’s toughest reels to date, the Revo STX Reel features precision machined Duragear brass gears with an oversized main gear housed within an aluminum frame. This innovative gear configuration makes the reel smooth and reliable while increasing its overall strength and durability. The Carbon Matrix Drag system is constantly smooth across all drag settings, and the shielded stainless steel bearings and corrosion resistant roller and spool bearings provide ultra smooth casting and retrieve with life-long performance. The Revo STX also features the Linear Magnetic Brake System which allows fine tuning in any casting application by consistently applying mag force to the spool while an Everslik coated pinion shaft and pawl dramatically reduces friction for increased casting and durability. What’s more the Revo STX is designed with the innovative Infini Spool II system which is separated from the drive train to ensure dependable, friction-free performance even when using light tackle.
