Does anyone know which casts farther..the version of Avu Revo SX or the new JMorris Signature?? Same price. Also, does the extra 10 lbs of drag on the SX mean a lot?thanks
(read all my Q&A)
Details:
Does this reel have clicking ajustment on the star drag, spool tension knob and magnetic brakes? also does this reel have dual braking system with centrifical and magnetic brakes and if not can you still get it really precise and good for throwning pike lures but also as small as 1/8 ounce lures??thanks
Answers
A:
Yes it does have precise clicking adjustments, however it is my opinion that it was designed to use heavier lures than 1/8 ounce. It can be done, but the reel was designed for line too large for that small of a lure.

A:
i dont recomend this reel for small lures or weights as lite as 1/8. 1/4 and up exelent reel. the answear to your other question obout the breaks and adjustments its all u can espect. exelentAnswers
A:
Yes. With the 24 pound drag, there aren't many freshwater fish you couldn't handle with this reel! Just make sure you have good line! :)

this reel its strong enough to fish tuna with it. cat fish no problem.Details:
Should i spend the extra $30 for the revo stx i am fishing for pike in Michigan :-)Answers
A:
Of course it is!! Strong gears and easy to cast. Love it!A:
Absolutely,By going with the STX you get both a centrifugal braking system and a magnetic braking system.
The SX just has magnetic brake. A great reel but for just $30 more you get both braking systems which can be very effective in increasing casting distance and getting less backlashes, but seriously who gets backlashes on REvos!!
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 CurodoA:
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
Top 250 Contributor
A:
it matches well with any abu rod since thats what the rods were based around. i would recommend the 6-1 ratio since it can get tiring burning spinnerbaits with big blades all day.A:
i have this real with a veritas and i love it, i have the 7:1 and the 6:4 SX, but i would my 6:4 for spinner baits, since i use 3blade spinners and there is plenty of action but i can still keep it at a slow pace so the lazy fish will still bite.Answers
A:
8.5 oz i think, its very light though and tough as nailsA:
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:
i got the abu garcia revo and i love it!!! 169.00 a rebate.. a little steap.. but well worth it. u get what u pay for
Top 250 Contributor
A:
well, i would buy this one but if ur lookin like cheap, a kvd signatureA:
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:
I would suggest the Winch but the revo-s or the SX are good, all have a 24pound drag on them so you have the power to drag a hog out of the heavier vegitation.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.
