Abu REVO survey

[Hula_Grub]

I bought my first Abu STX last year before the season opened. It was my first "high-end" reel. I casted the comparably priced Shimano and Quantum reels before I made my choice.

I've never regretted it! I'm a big fan of the magnetic vs. centrifugal brake system (Shimano), even though I rarely mess with them, and I didn't think the Quantum tour was worth the extra $40.

My first baitcaster came several years ago, a 6 to 1 quantum that I now use for plastics. I use the higher gear ratio STX for cranks and spinners, or when I'm wading and only want one rod w/ me.

As long as you're not spending the rent money on it, I'd say get the STX.

I have yet to use a REVO on the water, but I've played with them quite a bit while I worked during school. However, our team will be getting a good amount of the Skeet Reese REVOS once school starts up again this fall along with some of their new Elite Tech rods they came out with last year. Can't wait to use the REVOS, they match our school colors perfectly (U of Iowa) which makes it even more fitting for our club.

I added a Revo to my reels this year, it's the high speed SC (Cabelas model) 7.1:1 reel and I have been really impressed.

I'm almost exclusively a Shinamo guy when it comes to bass reels but this reel has really been a nice addition! I've been using it Carolina rig and jig worm fishing, after I work the spot it burns it right back in.... Nice reel.....

I myself am down to a REVO STX or the Winch.The most glaring difference they have is that one is Mag brake system while the other is a centrifugal brake system.

Either one better than the other in terms of brakes?

those would look pretty sweet with a little herkey on the side.
