With considerably fair pricing for a high-end product, the durability of the Abu Garcia Revo SX is unmatched with most reviews from customers being positive. The SX is capable of casting anything from about a three eighths ounce jig and up very well and pitching performance is spot on too though I found it best to back off on all magnetic brakes when pitching. The centrifugal brakes are set on the spool, and the magnetic brakes are set via this external dial. In the past, I've expressed sentiment that I find this braking system a bit overkill and I still do, but it certainly gets the job done. This generation has been upgraded to the Infini braking system which consists of both magnetic and centrifugal brakes. Ĭasting : The former Revo SX was equipped with Abu Garcia's basic, but reliable MagTrax, magnetic braking system. It is often on sale for 120-135, not the MSRP of 169 or the regular 155 price it will be listed at. The Revo SX now features Abu Garcia's Infini brake system. The Revo SX is a great reel at its (sale) price point. I spooled the SX with some fifty pound Daiwa JBraid, topped it with a leader of ten pound Sunline Sniper and matched it with a new Fenwick HMG 70MH-FC.

I have been using the Revo SX reels for over a year now and really like the way they perform. ![]() Otherwise, there's very little on the outside of the reel to reveal its internal improvements. The gen 4 reel also weighs 1.1 ounces more than the gen 3. Overall the reel's profile is the same, but like the previously reviewed Winch, the SX has a refined shape at the front that makes the reel appear more narrow than before. For refresh number three or generation number four, the Revo SX maintains its black and red color scheme only this time around the black is more glossy where the former SX's finish was matte.
