![]() The two other reels I was considering were the Daiwa Tatula and the 13 Fishing Origin C. Not to mention, I can beat this reel up and it takes it like a champ. The technology in the reel-like the hybrid drag system, the brass gearing, and the MagTrax brake system-make the reel worth more than what it costs. In my opinion, this reel is definitely worth the money. I ended up catching seven fish alone just from that one spot, and with those fish, it totaled about 18 pounds. ![]() I casted my weightless fluke on the bank and reeled it in slowly, and it got destroyed every time I casted it over there. The water was crystal clear blue and there were about 20 two-pound bass chillin’ on the bank. ![]() I was fishing Blue Ridge Lake and I had just drove over a point which was completely covered by trees. This might not be an issue for everyone, but for some, it will drive them away. Aesthetics: As far as aesthetics go, from what I've heard, most people are tired of the same-old black-colored reels, which do cause people to look elsewhere for reels, but I personally like it.Feel: The feel of the reel isn't terrible-part of the reel is made of alloy-but it goes from that to cheap plastic, and I understand this cheap reel is going to have it somewhere, but in my hands, it doesn't feel as great-especially when I go to thumb the spool.The reel is also capable of 18lbs of drag, but for most freshwater applications, it would be too much lowering that part of the reel would slightly decrease the price and probably improve sales. I tend to do a lot of back and forth, so this wouldn't be taken with me on Florida trips. Versatility: Unfortunately, the reel was only engineered for freshwater use.This reel doesn't need much anyway, with the big brass gears and the lube port for the bearings. Maintenance: Most of my reels receive maintenance all the time, but since this reel is so affordable, I don't mind not servicing it as much.Pulling up to 18lbs, this reel’s drag system over excels. Drag System: As talked about above, Abu Garcia’s Carbon Matrix hybrid drag system produces consistent, smooth, reliable drag performance.The Carbon Matrix drag system offers reliable drag time after time when fighting a fish. It also comes with high-density brass gear, which will prolong its longevity. Quality: The Revo is made of an alloy frame that can be seen in some of Abu Garcia’s higher-tier reels.The MagTrax braking system really puts this reel above others, allowing casting to be a breeze with minimal braking adjustments. Performance: In my opinion, this reel performs better than it should in this price range.
