Yet, there is one feature of this reel that does push it over the top. This little reel has "enthusiast" written all over it without being overbearing. ![]() They also do this with "Winch." It's probably only a matter of time before we get a REVO IKE ROCKET TORO BEAST MGX - an oversized, purple, super robust, fast, reel with a super light spool.Ību Garcia really offers a Revo to fit every need and just when I thought they had explored every possible variant, 2020 sees a brand new REVO platform. "Beast" is used to describe an upsized reel with more robust guts and greater line capacity (e.g. "Rocket" isn't just its own stand alone, super fast retrieve reel, but it's used to designate a super fast Revo - case in point, the Rocket Beast. ![]() Now, in the midst of Generation 4, Abu Garcia has really hit a comfortable stride, and they demonstrate this by stretching out Revo families with variants within variants. The shallow spool holds roughly 30% less line The standard spool has the same capacity as the other REVOs and Of course, some still practice this approach, but from a manufacturing perspective, homogenizing frame size and shape can really help with cost. Before that, each model offered by the same manufacturer had different ergonomics. They really spearheaded the idea of manufacturers offering the same basic frame size and shape in all their reels, but changing the guts to define a new line within a family of reels. The big news with this REVO is its TWO SPOOLS!Ību Garcia not only revolutionized the way we, as consumers, thought about low profile baitcasting reels at the time. Even though I've fished most of them, there are certainly more Revo variants now, than I can keep straight. I didn't start fishing the Revos myself until Gen 2 or 3, but through the years, Abu Garcia slowly introduced more to the family including Winch, Inshore, Toro, Beast, MGX, MGXtreme, Toro Beast, Rocket, X, the list goes on. That was circa 2006 when there were roughly 4 models, S, SX, STX, and maybe Premier? I could be wrong. New for 2020 is yet another REVO variant from Abu Garcia, the EXD ![]() I'll never forget JIP's revelation when testing Gen 1 STX's max drag at twenty four (24) pounds of pressure. No doubt short for revolution because that reel revolutionized the way we thought of Abu Garcia and the utility and accessibility of a quality low profile baitcasting reel. Introduction: Once upon a time, Abu Garcia introduced their new take on a low profile baitcasting reel. Complete with a Prize Inside the Cereal Box : Abu Garcia's REVO EXD
