Whats the diffrence between the revo 2 and revo3 mgx spin which is the better reel.

[@geoffbell9962]

Wondering if anyone who has an Abu Garcia MGX Revo 2500 who finds that when you have a snag and you try to release the snag by putting tension on the line & flicking the line, somewhat like a bow and arrow, that the anti reverse doesn't hold & the reel spins backwards causing line to peel from the spool. I thought I was doing something unusual, but after happening a few times I realized that the spool is actually going against the anti reverse. This does not happen with any other reel that I own. Not sure if this is a fault in the reel or if it is an inherent problem. Can be a pain in the butt and has caused me to lose faith in a reel that has been my most prized possession & 1 that I was extremely happy with. I have found that at times I can spin the reel in both directions with the anti reverse switched on or off but only occasionally & certain circumstances. Has any one else had this issue? I would be very interested to know,

Have you tried their new STX spin reel yet? Has all the same features as the MGX, minus One piece X-Mag and Carbon handle. Just curious if the new STX is as smooth as the MGX.

It’s okay to saltwater?

[@chrisfinch3445]

what rod are u using and the specs please

[@jamezpark7595]

+Chris Finch I think he was using the abu garcia salty stage light casting rod

[@thomasjtn4232]

yeah that rod looks really nice with the shorter handle. I don't like the longer handled rods, it cuts away from the actual length of the rod.

[@FastDrawD]

what kinda vessel is that?

[@ryand8461]

except, I hooked into a 1.2kg Black Sea bream and the whole damn thing flexed. My tatula, had no problem.
