Changing the design of one of the most popular low profile series on the market is risky at best. The engineers at Abu Garcia not only took the challenge to heart, but the new lineup of Revo baitcast reels exceeds all expectations.
Lighter, more compact and more powerful??this is the new Revo.
Lighter?? by completely re-engineering the design and utilizing new advanced materials, the new Revo is significantly lighter. Some models are up to 29% lighter than the original.
More compact??. The new compact design is easier fit to the hand for more comfortable fishing hour after hour.
