Abu Garcia REVO SX-L Or Daiwaź Fuego TD-FUEGOL :-)
The Fuego is about US$70 more than the Abu Garcia, what you guys think about these 2 reels? Never used any of these,.....have been using Shimano Curado's. :-)
:thanks2:

The Revo is the best casting reel I have seen from Abu in a long time. My other casting reels include Shimano Calcuttas, Chronarch MGs, lots of Abu 5600 C4 and 4600 C4s and Daiwa Zillions.
I'm using a Revo SX and have two STX High Speed on order. They are awesome. Spooled the Revo SX with 12# Daiwa Steez Floro carbon and will be spooling the other two with Vanish Crimson. My goal is to gradually replace my other reels with the new Abus. For the weight, drag rating, etc...the Abu is an awesome all around reel...especially if you are looking for something high speed. Always been an Abu fan for durability, but the new Revo has incorporated all the best technology.

Awesome...very sensitive...and I like the green. After having one of the bass pros tell me that you have to tie a Trilene knot with floro, I've been perfectly happy with it, any kind. Used to tie palomars and had very bad luck...I thought it was the line. I've got some of the new Vanish Crimson transition on the way...I can see the Cajun Red across the lake on anyone's rod so I thought the Crimson was a great idea.
