I don't own one myself,but have spoken with several people who do and they won't throw anything else!! All 3 models of the revos are sweet!!! I honestly have not heard one complaint about them!
I have three. Two sx's and one stx. I love them. As soon as I find a way to replace all of my reels with them without my wife finding out I will own eight of them. I like the sx as good as the stx. I wouldn't buy the S model because it doesn't have the magnetic brake. They have a far stronger drag than anything I have tried. They are a little free and take some getting used too.
I have the STX I really like it.Cast good and real good for pitching.I have been learning how to cast left handed with it with few professional overruns.
Thanks guys I cut my teeth on a 5000, when I first saw this reel I pretty much thought it might be a good reel. Old school meeting new school that is, I will buy a couple of them and seee how it goes. Thanks for the input.
I have a couple here at fishnfun. They are sweet reels there is no doubt about that. I personally don't think they are as good as the shimano chronarch and curado's.
