Angler Profiles

Earn Angler Of the Year and We’ll Name a Reel After You Too!


It’s an Abu Garcia® Revo® low profile baitcaster with just a bit of customization by 2007 BASS Angler of the Year Skeet Reese. Just look for the yellow and black frame,Reese’s trademark colors. Reese simply can’t fish without his Revo Premier® reels but he wanted to tweak the design to fit his personal fishing needs. The result is one of the lightest aluminum reels on the market weighing only 6.8 ounces with Angler of the Year features.

The one-piece frame is built with X-Cräftic™ corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, super light and super strong. The Revo Skeet Reese uses oversized 6.4:1-gear ratio Duragear™ gears made of heavy duty and corrosion-resistant alloy.

For Reese, a color change was not enough and this namesake reel features eleven HPCR® (High Performance Corrosion Resistant) bearings for added smoothness during casts and retrieves. The reel’s Carbon Matrix™ Drag System incorporates the most consistent drag pull of any reel in its class. With Carbon Matrix Drag, Reese feels a solid and smooth line drag, not the erratic pull of line felt on most other drag systems.

“This reel is cool! It’s yellow and black,” said Reese. “But it’s also cool because it has more bearings than the original Revo Premier, with a special handle for more power and torque. The eleven bearings give me better casting. I’m very flattered Abu Garcia has this Special Skeet Reese Edition.”

Available in both a right- and left-hand version, the Revo Skeet Reese has a line capacity of 145 yards of 12-pound monofilament fishing line. Reese also selected a centrifugal brake system for his reel as well as the Infini II™ Spool and an extended Throw Handle with extra large grips for ease of retrieve.

Revo® SX HS-L/STX HS-L Baitcast Reels
Popular Low Profile High Speed Reels Now Available in Left Hand Models

baircast

When Abu Garcia® introduced the Revo® low profile baitcast reels anglers from coast to coast were greatly impressed and the Revo demand began. Now anglers can get the high speed 7.1:1 Revo SX and high speed 7.1:1 Revo STX in left handed versions.

The low profile frame and side plate of the SX and STX is made of X-Cräftic™ aluminum alloy. This material is more durable and lighter than regular aluminum and corrosion resistant. Eleven High Performance Corrosion Resistant (HPCR®) bearings provide the smooth casting with added distance. All SX reels weigh just 8.7 ounces, the STX models weigh 8.75 ounces. Both the SX and STX reels hold 140 yards of 12-pound test monofilament fishing line.

“I’m right handed but at least 10 per cent of the anglers are left handed and many of us flip left handed,” said Bobby Lane, Abu Garcia Pro Team member. “These new left handed versions of the high speed SX and STX reels will sure help these anglers with their pitching and flipping presentations as well as burning baits over grass.”

The Swedish engineered Revo also features Linear Magnetic™ brakes, Duragear™ brass gears and synchronized level wind. The STX models include an Infini II™ Spool design for the smoothest of operations, titanium nitride wormshaft and Everslik™ coated pinion shaft and pawl.

Revo® Winch Baitcast Reel
A Low Profile Revo with low speed gears

For retrieving a deep diving crankbait, the low profile Revo® Winch from Abu Garcia® features powerful low-speed 5.4:1 gears to bring that bait back at the right speed without wearing the angler down. Pulling an eight-pound bass out of a heavy growth of hydrilla is no challenge for the Winch.

The Winch uses oversized Duragear™ gears made of heavy-duty and corrosion resistant brass. The X-Cräftic™ aluminum alloy one-piece frame and side plate also resists corrosion for a lifetime of solid Abu Garcia performance, yet the lightweight 8.54-ounce reel is comfortable to use all day long. Adding to the reel’s corrosion resistant features are eleven HPCR® (High Performance Corrosion Resistant) bearings.

A smooth drag is critical to fish management and the Winch’s Carbon Matrix™ Drag System incorporates the most consistent drag pull of any reel in its class—a full 24 pounds of drag! With Carbon Matrix Drag, anglers feel a solid and smooth line drag, not the erratic pull of line felt on most other drag systems.
“Getting the retrieval speed right on a crankbait is critical,” said Larry Nixon, Abu Garcia Pro Team member. “A high-speed reel simply brings the lure back too fast for a natural appeal and trying to slow the bait down with a fast reel is not very reliable. With the Winch I get the speed right everytime.”

Available in both a right- and left-hand version, the Winch has a line capacity of 175 yards of 12-pound monofilament fishing line. The six-pin centrifugal brake system is easy to adjust to match ever-changing fishing conditions.

Features:
Gears: Oversized Duragear™ brass with 5.4:1 ratio
Frame: X-Cräftic™
Drag: Carbon Matrix™ Drag
Bearings: 11 HPCR®
Line capacity: 175 yards/12#

No more taping line to the spool, no more monofilament backing to hold superline on the spool and no special knot to tie superline on the spool. Abu Garcia® introduces the exclusive SuperLine Spool System available only on the new Sorön STX Series of spinning reels. With the Fast Tie Design (Patent Pending), two elastimetric rings built into the spool keep superline from spinning on the spool.

The body, body cover, rotor and bail arm are built with X-Cräftic™ corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy to be super light, extremely durable and corrosion resistant even in saltwater. With the Carbon Matrix™ Drag System, the angler feels a solid and smooth line drag, not the erratic pull of line felt on most other drag systems.

Eleven High Performance Corrosion Resistant (HPCR®) bearings provide smoothness during casts and retrieves. Duragear™ gears made of heavy-duty and corrosion resistant brass add to the reel’s durability and long life.

“This is the best I’ve seen for backcountry fishing,” said Greg Watts, Abu Garcia Pro Team member. “No more worry about slipping braided line on the spool anymore. Just tie the line on the spool with any favorite knot. It’s that simple.”

The reel also features Duragear™ gears, Everlast™ Bail System for durability, stainless steel main shaft and hardware, a fluorocarbon spare spool and comfort soft touch paddles are included with each reel. With custom arbors for increased line capacity - the 8.2-ounce STX10 has a line capacity of 110 yards of 6-pound monofilament fishing line; for the 9.6-ounce STX20: 130 yards/8 pound and for the 11.0-ounce STX40: 210 yards/10 pound.
