Date: 7/15/15
Location: Orlando, FL
Admission: Buyers & Press Only
Manufacturer: Abu Garcia
Reviewer: Cal








Introduction:
Since Abu Garcia introduced their Revo reels, a lot of attention has been afforded to their low profile baitcasting lineup and while the company did offer spinning reels under this name, the suite was never quite complete. Well, this year, Abu Garcia resolves that issue and then some by filling out the Revo suite of spinning reels!

 


Weighing in below 7 ounces, the new Revo MGX Spin tops Abu's new line of Revo spinning reels.

 

Revo MGX Spin: Available in both a 20 and 30 size, the Revo MGX Spinning reel is counterpart to the very popular MGX casting reel. Priced at $299, this new Mg based spinner sports the new AMGearing system - Abu's new machined gear seat for spinning reels!

 


The MGX comes stock with a shallow and traditional, deep spool.

 


The Revo Premier spinning reel features the company's new X-Mag one-piece gearbox.

 

Revo Premier Spin: The Premier spinning reel will be available in 4 sizes, 10, 20, 30, & 40. Priced at $249.99, this reel also sports the AMGearing system as well as a new X-MAG one-piece gearbox making for a more rigid, yet lighter housing for those machined gears.

 


The Premier will be available in 10, 20, 30, and 40 sizes.

 

Finally STX gets a spinning reel.


Revo STX Spin: The brand new STX spinning reel will also be available in 4 sizes, 10, 20, 30, & 40. Priced at $199.99, to match its casting counterpart, this reel also sports the AMGearing system and the new X-MAG one-piece gearbox.


Priced at $199, this reel is sure to attract a lot of attention.

Revo SX, S & Inshore Spin: Abu Garcia refines the pre-existing Revo SX and S spinning reels upgrading SX to the AMGearing system. Also new for the suite this year is a Revo Inshore spinning reel made in 4 sizes: 30, 35, 40, & 60.


SX receives upgrades as well.

Conclusion: Abu Garcia's new spinning reels are intriguing. The MGX and Premier especially, are buttery smooth when you turn their handles. The STX is a perfect match for its casting counterpart, and the new Inshore spinning reel is sure to be a hit with salt anglers - especially surf fishermen. We look forward to testing these reels when they become available to see if they are worthy of the Revo moniker.
