Best $100 Spinning Reel: Abu Garcia Revo X Spinning Reel Review And Field Test

[@brandenjones70]

I found one of the reels at the Bargain store for 7 DOLLARS and I’m lovin it!!!

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Wow, very lucky find man!

[@Raven09s]

I have this, the elite max reels, and diawa fuegos on my spinning gear. I like this one the best. The aluminum makes the line come off really smoothly.

[@waylonlegend4603]

How much of a quality difference from elite max to the revo ?

[@ToddReuterOutdoors]

Solid video! The line on the spool is measured in yards, not feet. Tight lines brother.

[@rollastoney]

Fantastic video. You sold me in this reel, thanks a ton.

[@raysouthwick6333]

Do you know what size that is?

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Merry Christmas old friend. Thanks for the video. Be safe and god bless

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Merry Christmas John!🎅🎄

[@jasonsfishingagain312]

I'm pretty sure Abu Garcia says the frame is made of some flavour carbon. No matter, I used to be an aluminum or magnesium frame snob, I own two Revo X models and the frame has never flexed.

[@adamdoug9730]

Just ordered one of these to replace an old shimano sahara. Can't wait for it to come in.

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

I still love mine, it’s simple and it just works! Good luck!

[@eyenthesky1060]

@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 when you first put line on your reel was it making a loud noise? Do i have to pull out the bearing and put oil on it?

[@raysouthwick6333]

Please let me know what size that reel is??

[@greg6162]

I’m about to buy my first fishing pole/reel… should I get this or Shimano?

[@Cbill1987]

Shimano bro no question, this is a good bang for the buck but you’ll have the shimano for a lifetime with far superior performance

[@chrisrhinehart45]

​@@Cbill1987but which one there is a new one every damn day haha

[@PeterKen-n7l]

can you use this for trout ?

[@alefadam9885]

Im buying the abu garcia max sx 1000h. The problem is i facing the wind knot issue. Have you all face this problem too? I use max sx 500 before also face the same problem. Help me

[@rcas3016]

How do u change the handle to the right side

[@theDman0223]

There’s a bolt cover on the side opposite of the handle. Unscrew that using a coin and hold the line spinner. Once you hold the spinner start cranking the handle and it will loosen up. Switch the sides and do the opposite by screwing the handle in while holding the spinner then put the cover back on.

[@muzammilzulkifli3758]

now it's 2023, is it worth buying?

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Absolutely, it's still great!

[@krispyk.1786]

if you can still find them- absolutely some retailers are even putting them on clearance because of the model revo x!

[@scottbenton9669]

No the gearbox is but the frame is not aluminum

[@AM-we6en]

Revo or the lews Mach 2? Which one is better?

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Definitely the Revo, hands down!

[@AM-we6en]

@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 Awesome thanks

[@yourboyd7442]

How do you take the handle off do you need screw drivers ore just onscrew

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

The handle just screws out of this one by rotating it the opposite direction.

[@fdsaffff]

can use in saltwater?

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Sorry man, this one is freshwater only.

[@nolimitracing9752]

I use mine in both fresh an salt. Never had a issue.

[@airsoftgeek901]

@@nolimitracing9752 i use mine on a 6.6 st croix triumph for fluking and its amazing

[@predatoria_aquatica]

This or kastking speed demon elite?

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

I have never personally tried the KastKing but I know their speed demon products are pretty solid. I would say either one would be a good purchase.

[@mrahman4223]

This or the lews custom tlc3000?

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Both are great but I would say my favorite is the Revo x.

[@Zekewood3]

What rod is that

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Lews Reactor rod from Walmart

[@TheOffCycle]

This thing is junk. I've only used it pond hopping and bearings are already shot.

[@Tightt88]

It is nice looking reel!
