(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
I have both and both perform about the same. I won't spend the the extra money againAnswers
A:
I have both and the Revo out performs the Curodo
A:
I dont like the new Curado, the E was better. I would get the SX, I like it even better than my E7, and Ive always been a Shimano person, so what does that tell you?A:
i have used both and the revo is the best oneDetails:
i was wondering if this reel would balance well with the veritas and/or verdict. also would it be good for spinnerbaits with the 7.1:1 gear ratio?Answers
A:
8.8 oz
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
the reel weighs 8.89oz. it is a really nice reel, smooth casts far barely and backlashes and really not that expensive. put it on a nice rod like the Abu Garcia Veritas or spend a wee bit more and get the Duckett Micro Guide rod. both would make an excellent combo.Answers
A:
Simple...Shimano CuradoA:
Revo Sx (just magnetic brakes), or Revo STX (if you want both braking systems)A:
Any Abu Garcia RevoA:

Top 100 Contributor
A:

Two come to mind which are great reels: BPS Enigma and Quantum KVD.Details:
I just got the revo sx a few weeks ago and have been trying to figure out how to get inside of it to oil it up. Any one could help me out I'd sppreciate itAnswers
A:
There is a black screw you turn with your hand at the top left hand side (no screwdriver needed) unscrew as much as you can take the right side of the reel and twist up and pull off. Oil everywhere the stainless steel rod goes into also oil underneath the eye in the front and finally the handle.A:
unwind the silver screw on the reel. turn the side plate 1/4 turn towards you. pop off side plate. oil the bearing on the spool. I did that and wow.A:
The silver screw on the top right side of the reel that runs all the way across to the left side is removed, then you twist the left side plate counter clockwise and it will pop off. Then remove the spool and you can get to most of the bearings you need to get to for oiling.A:
YouTube has some pretty good videos. Try a fishing forum for more info.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Your best bet would be to follow general guides on Youtube that show how to clean and maintain baitcasters. The SX is not much different than the rest of them.A:
On the handle side of the reel towrd the front, there is a screw. Loosen it up until it is loose.Then turn the left side plate up. It should come right off for you.Answers
A:
works great for pitching just make sure to adjust cast control each time you change your lureA:
If your going to just pitch with it, id get a Revo S. No need to spend all that money for just pitching.Heres what i use for pitching and flipping
REvo S
7 Ft 6in Vendetta Medium Heavy
40lb power pro braid.
A:
Any revo is good for pitching. I use the SX.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Not sure about it being the best, but it does great for me. The STX may pitch a little better due to the dual brake system.Details:
So SX or STX? what one holds up more and is smoother, casts farther?Answers
A:
sx has more drag but stx is smoother and easier to castA:
they are basically the same except for the lube inside. Cannot go wrong with either oneA:
both are excellent reels that hold up well with normal maintenance and cleaning. distance is relative to line size, rod length, and anti-back lash setting. Light line, longer rod, smaller setting equals longer casts with the same bait weight. The STX has external magnetic adjustment for the backlash, along with the internal weights, and the SX only has the internal (inside the side plate).Details:
What is the difference between the SX and the SX- HSAnswers
A:
The only difference is the speed witch the reel reels in line. The high speed is faster at reeling in line. AKA The BurnerA:
The speed or gear ratio. Think of going up a steep hill on a bike in high gear. It is difficult. Sio in fishing reel terms I would say the bigger the fish you target the more you wou;d need a lower gear ratio.A:
Gear Ratio. Quicker retrieve on the SX-HS.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
the SX-HS is the high speed version. Basically there are 2 speeds for the SX, 6.4:1 and the faster (HS) 7.1:1.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The SX is a normal 6.4:1 or 5.1:1. the sx-hs is a faster 7.1:1.lucky fishing,
Elite X2
A:
the sx has a gear of 6.4 and the sx-hs has a gear ratio of 7.0. the sx gets 27 inches per turn of the handle and the sx-hs gets 31 inches per turn of the handleDetails:
I am a big spiderwire braided fan and was thinking of trying the new fluoro braided. I am not really sure what to go with.Answers
A:
i use suffix 832 20 pound and i love it!!A:
it depends what type of fishing you are doing. when jigging in heavy cover, def go braid. i even like mono when using crankbaits when bouncing off rocks. i use flouro for all around.A:
florocarbon is a good line unless fishing for twenty pound fish braided line is not needed and the fish are more likeley to see it
Top 250 Contributor
A:
It depends what type of fishing you are going to be doing with it, either way I think this reel can handle it. The specific fishing situation will determine line choice, not just the reelA:
17 mono, BerkleyA:
just go with braid
