I use my revo alot. It takes a beating. It's my goto reel for boardfishing, so it sees alot of salt water. I have not had any problems with it yet. It's seen alot of different kind of fish and handled them well.

Well, I went with the Abu Revo and got the reel and a rod as a combo at Bass Pro Shops; this combo saved me roughly $40 when compared to buying each separate. They also filled the reel with line at no charge. I like the fact that the Abu comes with two handles, so you can decide which one you prefer to use on the reel.

Going to use this combo this Friday.
