Met my expectationsThe Revo sx met my expectations for smoothness, sturdiness and light weight. I have been using Abu spinning reels for many years, and they have always given me good service. The bail roller doesn't twist the line like some other brands. Time will tell how durable this one is.

Excellent Spinning ReelI have several of the Revo SX baitcaster reels and have really loved them. So I figured that I would give the spinning reel a shot, and it did not disappoint. It reels very smooth, fits on the rod nicely, and holds plenty of line in 30 model. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a solid spinning reel without breaking the bank.

Abu Garcia may have dropped the ballI bought this reel at the beginning of last season. The first couple of times I used it I found it not to be as smooth as the cheaper reels that my wife uses. At the end of the first season after a cast and clicking the bail while reeling the bail spring broke. Sent in for repair which was free of charge which was nice. This season I brought it out to use again and found the real to bind once in awhile as though your line is wrapped around the tip of the rod. Seems a bit noisey and tough to reel in fish but does work. I would like to try another to see if maybe I just got a bad one. Abu Garcia is a leader in the fishing industry but may have dropped the ball with the Revo SX.

Wet blanketI had been pleased with this reel in the six or seven times I used it since buying it last fall, but yesterday, after several hours in a light rain, it gummed up terribly. Very difficult to turn the handle, even in comparison to other, less expensive reels that were in the both with me. I bought it for its water resistant features, but it doesn't appear to have any. Keep it home when it's wet outside.

Looks and feels goodI just got this reel to pair with my new St. Croix Avid X 7" M/F rod. I didn't see this reel in person so I was unsure what size would be best, this worried me because I'm not a fan of large reels. I ended up purchasing the SX30 and it's perfect, not too big and not too small, it fits my rod perfectly.
Three issues prevent me from giving this reel a full 5 stars.
1. It makes a slight noise when reeled. I can tell this is a defect with the reel and not the norm, as I've had this issue with another reel I've purchased.
2. The bail won't open at a certain spot. I was excited when I finally got my reel, so I was fiddling around with it since I didn't have the rod yet. I tried opening the bail at one point, and it wouldn't open all the way. I didn't force the issue since I don't want to damage the spring, and I don't see it being an issue in the future.
3. I haven't fished it yet! I just got it earlier this week so I haven't had a chance to take it out yet.
I'll provide an update when I do end up getting a few fish on this reel and I let you know if the issues I listed come into play.
Thus far, I'm satisfied. It's lightweight, smooth, and compact.

Is this good for inshore saltwater fishing or just freshwater?
Asked by: paul14
I would not use it for saltwater. Not easy to access inner workings to clean and re-lube after saltwater use.
