Gear Review: Abu Garcia Revo X Combo

WHAT IS IT?

Abu Garcia Revo X Combos

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Combining the dependability of the Revo X reels with keenly matched rods and giving the package a stylish look, Abu Garcia offers a line of combos that deliver the performance we’ve come to expect from this legendary brand. The baitcasting and spinning reels feature asymmetrical designs for lighter weight and greater strength. Both rods are made of 30-ton graphite for optimal sensitivity, with blanks designed to match Revo performance. Carbon rear grips both contribute to a lightweight, sensitive design.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Abu Garcia offers three Revo X Low Profile Baitcast Combos, each with seven stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing, Mag-Trax brake for consistent pressure, DuraClutch design, compact bent handle and star and the smooth reliance of a Carbon Matrix hybrid drag system, 20 pounds. The two spinning combos feature machined gear systems, friction-free main shaft design and the Rocket Line Management System, which improves casting distance and reduces wind knots.
