Introduction:

No stranger to the reel game, when Abu Garcia launched the first Revo reels a few years ago, they instantly grabbed the attention of many anglers.  While many Bass anglers may accept shunned Abu in the past, the Revo line represented a much needed modify.  With the newly generated fizz, they were all of a sudden dorsum in the game.  Featuring sleek, low profile designs and advanced features, they had Bass line-fishing written all over them.  While these commencement Revos received a lot of praise, they weren't perfect.  After some updates and changes to the lineup over recent years, the Revo family is now every bit refined as ever.

As the �entry level� Revo model, the new Southward offers some interesting features and an eye catching advent.  This reel has some stiff contest in it'due south price segment; later all, it'due south playing in the same ballpark every bit a long fourth dimension fan favorite, the Shimano Citica.  Does this refreshed Revo have what it takes to score a abode run?


The new Revo Southward sports a paint job that gives it a very fresh, updated advent.

Impressions:   This is non your granddaddy's one-time school Ambassadeur reel.  The new Abu reels are slick, meaty, and advanced.  Despite it's affordability, the new Revo S is no exception.  Sporting a  blackness frame and white side plates, it'south color scheme is drastically different from the terminal generation and looks much more up to appointment.  While these colors sure look similar to a certain Shimano casting reel, the Revo S is indeed a perfect match on a Veritas rod.  I have always been a fan of �storm trooped� cars (a white motorcar with black rims), then this is basically the equivalent in the fishing world.  Information technology too looks great on all the rods on my rack, from Loomis to Zombie!


There is no outer side plate spool casting command on the Revo S, just a elementary trim comprehend to fill the space.

In add-on to a cosmetics upgrade, the Revo S went on a diet, dropping it'due south weight down from 8.7oz to 7.6.  This is a very important upgrade, because to me y'all tin can't redesign a reel without at to the lowest degree a modest weight reduction.  With over an ounce of weight reduction, the Revo Due south nailed that category.

Existent Globe Test: The Revo S was put to work in a variety of south Florida lakes and ponds, and even saw light utilise on California's Lake Berryessa and the Delta.  12lb test monofilament was the sole line used on the reel.  The Revo S filled vacancies in the reel seats of a G Loomis CBR845, Powell Diesel 705CB, and a thirteen Omen OBC73M. I casted a broad diverseness of baits including spinnerbaits, lip less cranks, topwaters, and paddle tail swimbaits, to name a few.


The reel sports a sleek design with sporty outer lines.

Casting: This tertiary generation Revo S features a �pitch� centrifugal braking system.  The system utilizes 3 spring loaded and 3 non-leap loaded brake blocks located under the palming side plate.  The three not jump loaded brakes, each marked �pitch�, permit for the most control since they offer braking force through the entire cast.  The three spring loaded brakes are nigh useful for anglers like myself, that actually like the spool loosened up for maximum distance.  They offer control for the outset part of the cast, so plow off for the rest, allowing the well-nigh distance of your lure.


To admission the pitch brakes, simply unscrew the cam lock screw (can exist done with your fingers if it's not on tight) to pop off the side plate.

I found that the braking system works practiced overall.  The Revo S doesn't rival any loftier dollar reels in terms of casting, but it does fling lures relatively well.  During tests, lures weighing from 5/16oz to 1oz were used.  The reel handles the spectrum of lures, but casting functioning with the lightest baits left a bit to be desired, though it was still satisfactory.  Despite many brake adjustments, I was never able to quite go the reel exactly where I wanted information technology in terms of casting operation, but again, it was satisfactory.  For truthful light duty work, something along the lines of a Revo MGX or Cadre 50 will be more than to your liking.  With the reel all dialed in to where I wanted it, at least the backlashes were very few and were always attributed to operator error.  Oh, one more affair, aye the cast control brake knob (handle side) clicks!


With a well trained thumb, anglers can finer use this reel with just i or 2 of the brakes gear up
