Abu Garcia Revo SX-SS Baitcasting Reel 8.1:1 Left

Abu Garcia Revo SX-SS — engineered for precision skipping, pitching and flipping

The 5th generation Revo SX-SS (Shallow Spool) combines a super high-speed 8.1:1 gear ratio with a lightweight shallow spool design for optimal casting performance with lighter braids and lures.

Extreme casting control with IVCB-6 braking

The IVCB-6 centrifugal braking system delivers precise external adjustments for a wide variety of baits, allowing you to easily fine-tune and maximize casting distance. The EXD Concept Design further enhances casting performance, making the SX-SS ideal for techniques like topwater, jerkbaits and twitchbaits where distance matters most.

Powerful yet lightweight construction

The asymmetrical body features an X2-Cräftic alloy frame for the perfect balance of strength and ergonomics, while C6 carbon sideplates reduce weight without compromising durability. Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag delivers 10 kg of smooth stopping power with audible drag click. The 90 mm bowed aluminum handle with oversized knobs provides excellent grip and leverage for hauling bass out of heavy cover.
