SERVICING — ABU Revo STX 8.0

Post by LLCC »

This is my first ABU Ambassadeur since 1980. I love Ambassadeurs - you buy one and it'll last you years and years and they work so well, you don't have to get another one unless you want to look fashionable. This time, I got me a Revo ver 3 STX 8.0. I was sold on its very light weight (even lighter than Daiwa's Alphas R-Edition); yet it has impressive drag numbers. The 8.0 ratio was something I thought was not viable as it would make the pinion too small, so I had to get one to find out if it is truly cutting edge technology or just a numerically impressive dud.

Here's a step by step greasing up that I did, prior to using the reel. By greasing a reel up before use, I get to protect the reel against friction wear and galvanic corrosion even before it has a chance to start.

Here's the link to the full step-by-step guide:
