![]() I don't even know why there is a back reel feature. Out the the back box the back reel acts up unless handle is screwed in just so. I have it on my ducket terex and is great for wacky rigs, drop shots and neko rigs.Ĭomments: I like this reel it feels smooth, is light weight, looks good, there is an in between size the 2000 which is rare. Overall I'd say its a great reel for the price and I'd definitely recommend it.Ĭomments: This reel is very smooth,light and definitely worth the money. My only complaint would be the way it loses the smoothness of how it was right out of the box, and it sounds like the bearings are rubbing against sandpaper. I've never had any problems with this reel it's solid and durable. Probably my favorite setup at the moment. There is such a drastic jump in spool size between the 30 and the 40 that a mid-size in a 35 would be a good idea.Ĭomments: Bought this reel a while back and put it on a 6'10 Phenix Maxim. ![]() So wouldn't it be nice if Abu Garcia made a size 35 in the future for 8-pound line. The size 40 has a much deeper spool and goes nicely with 10 or 12-pound line. I also have 2 Abu Garcia reels in the size 40. The spool says that it holds 175 yards of 8-pound line but it doesn't look like it would hold nearly that amount. 6-pound test line is the perfect match for the size 30 as the spool is shallow ( which I love ). I can't comment on the durability factor since I have only used it 3 times but it seems to be holding up nicely. This reel just stopped working like it did the first day out.Ĭomments: I bought the REVO X spinning reel in the size 30 and I love it. I haven't abused the reel, dropped it water, treated it poorly or even used oil or lubricants. I have fished this reel 4-5 times and have maybe 300 casts on it and the handle freezes just as others had described. I purchased the reel anyway because the reel generally had good reviews and I figured some people either got lemons or there was user error occurring. I read a handful of reviews before purchasing and saw comments that indicated the handle would periodically freeze or fail to turn. For the money i definitly recomend this reelĬomments: Highly disappointed in this reel. Seems fine now but I have little faith that this reel will survive another big fish even with 6lb line and a light drag setting.Ĭomments: Its an amazing reel, its super smooth and casts a mile and a half. I took the reel completely apart and lubed and tightened the nuts and screws. I found there is slop/wiggle in the rotor and by turning the rotor by hand the handle turns properly util you stop reeling. The reel performed well drag was excellent but the next cast the handle seized up. I'd definitely recommend for those looking for solid performance without breaking the bank.Ĭomments: Mine lasted a few months and many 1-2 lb fish until I hooked into a 4 lb smallie. Primarily use it for finesse presentations, Texas rigged plastics, and jerk baits. Not sure what other folks are talking about with durability concerns. Caught tons of 1-3 lb bass without a single complaint. Hauled in a 8lb 24' northern on it with no issues whatsoever. Fished it pretty hard for the past year and a half and have had nothing but luck with it. Not a single problem.Ĭomments: Solid reel for the money. As well as multiple larges and acrobatic smalls. Speckled trout, and 2 large mouth over 8lbs and. I have caught big bull red fish, and a fish that spooled me 2wice. Take care of your gear and it will last.Ĭomments: Awesome reel. Iâve been using mine for over 2 year and it still performs like itâs brand new. ![]() Casts very well, lightweight, and has a very smooth drag. Solid reel.Ĭomments: Use this reel for finesse plactics and Shakey heads never had an issue wanted to test it all around so I put in on a carp rod it handled a 20 pound carp with Eze also put it on an ice rod and it handled good size pike and never had an issue with it freezing only after I dunked it in the water but it was the air temp that froze not the water itself awesome reel for the money will buy moreĬomments: Outstanding reel. Great line management so far castes trout magnets with ease. ![]() It is a little bigger than i expect but boy this reel is solid. Crazy light weight for such a quality reel.Ĭomments: I purchased the 1000 size for trout and pan fishing. Light oiling at the start of the season and they never failed to handle a fish. All on Dobyns rods and I couldn't be happier. I've phased out my other spinning reels and currently run 4 of these. I have 2 and have had no problems.Ĭomments: Great reels. You can also rip line off the locked spool and you are ok for a few casts. I remediated such experiences by fixing the washers on the spool, but the reel locked up a few casts after that. Like several other people have mentioned, the reel locks up quite often. Comments: I am an avid Abu Garcia user and use solely Abu products. ![]()
