I just bought two, they seem like pretty kick butt reels. I was curious to see what others had to say about them.

Bought one in Sept. Reel tension adjustment would not work. Took it back and got another and had same problem. I would tighten tension knob down and it had no effect at all. Took knob off and checked for missing parts but all were there. Keep it for a couple of months and finally took it back and exchanged it for Johnny Morris and it has been a great reel. Works like it is supposed to.
I just ordered two more from BPS. I have been a Daiwa/ Shimano guy, Abu may have just converted me for good.

Went out today against my better judgement to try and tune my new reels. I am in love, not only are they smooth but it only took me a little bit to get them set up like I wanted. Henceforth getting my butt out of the freezing cold A.S.A.P!

I have 2 on carbonlite 7' MH rods and love them! I found that they won't cast a great distance so I pulled out every other brake pin and now it casts forever.

Thats exactly what I need to do bbq. My Curado's and Citica's launch to the moon. It's so much easier to get to the breaking system on the Shimano. I am lazy I suppose.

Brake pins???? The SX has linear magnetic brakes. Even my older SX has em. Great reels.
I'm probably the weird one here, or I just got a bad one, but I really don't like mine very much. I have to tighten it down a lot just so I can cast it without a backlash and the retrieve is pretty tight as a result. Its been that way since the day I bought it.

I work in fishing at cabelas and the revo sx is one of our top selling reels. People choose the sx over the stx quite frequently. I have an sx that I have been using on the coast and for bass fishing and as long as u oil it and grease it that reel will last a very long time and out perform alot of reels.
I am truly sold, I just went to my local Academy to buy two more and they were sold out, so I just ordered them from Bass Pro. I hate paying shipping but I love these reels. I have now have four Curado E's for sale if anyone is interested.
