I do not think any of these reels are bad, and they will all work but which will work better.Īlso if any of you are willing to sell these to me cheaper than manufacturer price and in good condition I may take you up on that offer. Don't worry, its easy, Which do you like the most? Or if you want to help me more you could list them from your favorite to your least favorite/not fished with. So to help me I would like your guys' help. Even if mistakes are impossible to avoid, I try to limit them. Let's just say I hate to make mistakes, which I tend to do on a regular basis. If you enjoy reels that are made from the Doyo factory, you will surely enjoy this one.-READ BEFORE VOTING. The reel casts just as well as it pitches, and it gives great distance results with awesome spool control. Now, when I decided to switch to casting a bait, I just adjusted the brakes down a bit and let it rip. The Gen4 is by far a big improvement from the Gen3 to me in the hands, both reeling and casting. The ergonomics allowed me to feel completely comfortable with the reel in my hand. Again, no issues handling the job at hand. So we are not talking a heavy bait either. No over runs, no distance issues, and everything was fluent. This reel is a pitching machine, and the brakes help to make things easily controlled, and easily adjustable for more control if needed. I took this reel spooled up with 12lb Sufix Advance and pitched creature baits for about 3 hours the other night. Like mentioned before, it has the carbon drag system with impressive numbers that is somewhere around a max of 20lbs. But, time will tell on how it will hold up. I really like what Doyo did to improve the clutch system, my only concern is the clutch pawl. Internally the reel has brass gears, the frame is made of aluminum, and the clutch mechanism/ system has been redesigned.
Let me give you an example: most people really like the Daiwa SV reels for their castibility right? Now, imagine you can get that without a $300 price? I know, "you can with the Tatula SV!".yes, you can, but it's a bulky reel (to me) that has the TWS (which I dont care for).
Like I said, I really like the Magtrax system. I know, I know."LMG you have soo many high end Shimano and Daiwa products, why the Korean crap?" They have a place in use. No, seriously, this is one of my favorite reels to come out of the Doyo factory. I'll give a little review on the reel now, seeing as how I got to use it recently for what I think it really accels in.everything. Me, actually really liking this reel, decided it was a good trade back. But, recently, he wanted a lighter finesse style setup, and wanted to incorporate this reel into a trade. The major downfall to the stock S to me was the kno s being soo bulky, but for $30 I got a lighter handle with better feeling knobs (to me).Ī friend of mine was looking to expand his collection a bit and decided this reel was one he liked, so I had sold it to him. I grabbed this reel when it was on sale for $100, and added the Lews carbon fiber handle that is 95mm in length. Difference is obviously the better paint job, a aluminium drag star, and cross carbon drag. This makes the reel almost identical to the Lews Speed Spool (as they come out of the same factory). The S now comes with the Magtrax instead of the centrifugal only brakes like in the past. Why the S? Because the SX went to dual brakes, and it was too much for what I was looking for, so I sold the SX and purchased the S. Non the less, still a fine product.Ī little back story on this reel.I had purchased this reel new when Abu came out with the new Gen4 reels. Now, I say they, as in Abu, but, Abus LP reels are in fact made in a Korean factory from Doyo.
Personally, I've always liked the Magtrax brake system that Abu has incorporated into their reels. The Revo S has always backed with the Revo SX in the Garcia family as the workhorse reels.
