I know the reel says sweden on it but was it made in sweden, anyone? Maybe it's says on the box where it's made? Thanks for info.Answers

A:
Abu Garcia's round reels (C3, C4, Record) are made in sweden. However, I have a Revo Premier and it is made in Asia, so I don't think this reel is made in sweden. (they are all designed in Sweden.)
A:
This reel is made in South Korea. Thank you!Details:
How will the Winch match up with my Premier 7' MH Musky rod?Answers
A:
Great
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I have 2 of these reels and I have one on a 7' MH Pro Qualifier rod and the other is on 7' MH Rick Clunn rod...I used both on my Canada trip last month without any problems!!! Performed flawless and both reels cast far!!Details:
Im thinking of buying my first musky rod and reel and this looked like a reel that could handle that but just wanted to make sure,so can u use this for musky?Answers
Top 50 Contributor
A:
This is the revo winch, which would work alright for muskie fishing, but I would recomend getting the revo toro winch, which has a wider spool and an even lower gear ratio, making it better for muskie fishing with large baits.

A:
I have 2 of these reels and I took both to Canada and used these for Pike fishing without any problems!!!The reels have a lower gear ratio and the drag system is great!!!
I am using 14lb Stren clear/blue mono on each, they cast a mile and perform great!!!
A:
This would be a great reel for musky fishing if you get the 60 size.Answers
A:
I only use the knob on the side. It is very easy to set it to the various baits you throw using that one knob.A:
above the spool you can see a little metal bar that comes across to a screw on the same side as the handle. loosen that and the sideplate opposite the handle will be able to be popped loose. i for one have never messed with the pins but the i know there are at least two settings, one for pitching and one for casting. if you need to see this all done go to you tube and watch the icast video about the winch and he pretty much shows you.A:
you can take off the side panel, there is a little screw type thing on the opposite side of the reel from the side plate that can be removed....it is very easy and is the best way to really dial in the reel for the application you are using it for.

A:
You can adjust the centrifugal brake on the inside of the reel by unscrewing the grooved screw on the top of the reel with your thumb or a small screw driver if it is too tight or has been accidentally tightened. Then simply twist the side plate off and adjust the brakes inside. See my included pictures for examples.Images for this Answer

A:
Behind the handle there is a little thumbscrew that is handtight. If you take that off you can take off the plate on the opposite side which allows you to adjust the breaking.Details:
I'm not sure of what reel would better for frog fishing.the winch or the curado reel. does anyone have any advise on it?Answers
A:
Curado hands down. I bought a revo this weekend and it is junk.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I would have to say the winch would be. The winch has a 24 lb drag system and it has really great reeling power!A:
I have two of the Shimanos and two of the Revos. Hands down the Revo will provide you more cranking power to jack those pigs out of the grass. Beside that, you can throw that frog a long way like you need with the Revo. Set up right, you have little backlash.A:
shimanos curado it the best and it is worth the price.A:
my tournament partner swore by the shimano until he used one of my poles to flip and now he owns the winch. they are awesome and casting is unbelievable
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
If you are fishing frogs fast you might want a fast retrieve speed. These are slow. Hope this helps.Details:
Can you change the brakes on the reel the same as the STX.Answers
A:
You probably could but I don't know why you would want to. If you have the brake set up right with what your using it should be just fine. The ones that come on it are good.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I have the revo s, sx and now the winch. They all come with a manual that shows how to make adjustments on each reel.

This reel has certrifugal brakes , not magnetic, super easy to adjust much better brake system overall.A:

I am really close to buying one of these reels as I do own a Revo Premier again with no rod to pr. it up with,so I guess I need help for both reels .What rod for the Winch and which rod for Premier? Thanks for ant and all help.Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I put my winch on a Bass Pro Qualifier 7' med-heavy rod using their weight balance kit. I am happy with this combination! It casts great and the rod has a strong backbone let along it looks good too!A:
shimanos curado it the best and it is worth the price.A:
I paired my winch with a rick clunn crankbait, nice combo, but I was replacing a reel. If buying new, I am in love with the new mojo bass. The winch is great for slower recovery, hence the crankbaits.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I personally like St. Croix rods but the Winch will pair up nicely with any rod in the seven foot range, medium heavy, with mod-fast action if you're using it for crank baits (which is what the reel was made to do). If you're looking to throw spinner baits I'd say you're looking for a seven foot, medium rod with fast action.The Premier it could go well with any rod. Its more important to match the rod to the type of bait you'll be throwing than matching it to a specific reel. For an all around rod that can be used with most baits you'll want to get something between six feet six inches and seven feet, medium action, and a fast tip. That's a good all around rod that can be used for almost all application. Good luck!

There is a 1 year limited warranty for USA and Canada Only.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I believe its a one year warranty against mfg defects. If you're hard on your gear like me it may be worth it to buy the Gear Guard. It covers your equipment from any type of damage or failure for two years. I usually get the gear guard on all my fishing rods since they seem to get beat up in the boat... or car doors.1 of 1
