Abu Garcia Revo STX — precision and power in a lightweight package

The 5th generation Revo STX low profile baitcasting reel combines class-leading precision with the muscle you need for demanding freshwater fishing. Built on an asymmetrical X2-Cräftic™ alloy frame, this 215 g workhorse delivers 11.3 kg of carbon fibre drag power and a high-speed 8.1:1 retrieve—perfect for reaction baits and fast presentations.

Maximum casting distance with total control

The EXD Concept design maximizes your casting performance, while the IVCB-6 centrifugal brake system offers nearly limitless adjustment to suit every lure weight and wind condition. Whether you're pitching jigs or burning crankbaits, you'll enjoy smooth, controlled casts every time.

Engineered for strength and all-day comfort

The asymmetrical body design balances perfectly in your hand, and the X2-Cräftic™ alloy frame and sideplate provide exceptional rigidity without added weight. The Power Stack Carbon Matrix drag and Duragear Gen II brass gear system handle aggressive runs and heavy cover with confidence. A 95 mm bowed aluminium handle with oversized knobs ensures secure grip and efficient cranking power.
