Post by swamp_donkey89 »

Just purchased a Revo sx sight unseen, good move or bad? Haha just a spontaneous moment but mainly wanted it for saltwater use.
Any ones experience with this reel would be great
Cheers

Had mine for a couple of years now, gets a fair workout, no dramas.
" YOUTH is a GIFT "
"AGE is an ART "
"Doesn't mean you get any smarter..just wrinkled and cracked".

"No angler watches nature in a passive way...He enters into its very existence." (John Bailey...Reflections on a Waters Edge)

"Govern a Family as you would catch a small fish....Very Gently." (Chinese Proverb)

"Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish." (Rafael Sabatini...1857-1950)

I pray that one day God sends me a fish so big that, when talking of it...I have no reason to lie.

I've been a Curado man for years, but have recently gone to the Revo SX's - much more bang for buck IMHO, and no dramas to date.

Defineately wouldn't go back to Curado ....

I've had one for about four years, eleven bearings, reasonably smooth, HUGE bang for your buck. My Scorpion is a better reel but it cost a bit more too.

How much to buy in Darwin? I'm pretty disappointed with the Curado
