I have this, the elite max reels, and diawa fuegos on my spinning gear. I like this one the best. The aluminum makes the line come off really smoothly.
@@waylonlegend4603the body being primarily aluminum on the gen 2 and gen 3 revos makes the price 100% worth it; the max pro by all means is a good reel for a budget (especially if you have coupons) but imo I’d take the Revo with the carbon drag disks, aluminum handle, precision line roller, and black coloration over the plastic / graphite body of the max pro
There’s a bolt cover on the side opposite of the handle. Unscrew that using a coin and hold the line spinner. Once you hold the spinner start cranking the handle and it will loosen up. Switch the sides and do the opposite by screwing the handle in while holding the spinner then put the cover back on.
Im buying the abu garcia max sx 1000h. The problem is i facing the wind knot issue. Have you all face this problem too? I use max sx 500 before also face the same problem. Help me
I'm pretty sure Abu Garcia says the frame is made of some flavour carbon. No matter, I used to be an aluminum or magnesium frame snob, I own two Revo X models and the frame has never flexed.
I’d say so- the drag is buttery smooth so if you’re doing Brooke trout the 10 size will serve you well and if you love Lakers the 40 size will also have you loyaly covered
I found one of the reels at the Bargain store for 7 DOLLARS and I’m lovin it!!!
Wow, very lucky find man!

How much of a quality difference from elite max to the revo ?

Fantastic video.
You sold me in this reel, thanks a ton.
Do you know what size that is?
Solid video! The line on the spool is measured in yards, not feet. Tight lines brother.
Merry Christmas old friend. Thanks for the video. Be safe and god bless
Merry Christmas John!🎅🎄
How do u change the handle to the right side
There’s a bolt cover on the side opposite of the handle. Unscrew that using a coin and hold the line spinner. Once you hold the spinner start cranking the handle and it will loosen up. Switch the sides and do the opposite by screwing the handle in while holding the spinner then put the cover back on.

I’m about to buy my first fishing pole/reel… should I get this or Shimano?
Shimano bro no question, this is a good bang for the buck but you’ll have the shimano for a lifetime with far superior performance
@@Cbill1987but which one there is a new one every damn day haha

How do you take the handle off do you need screw drivers ore just onscrew
The handle just screws out of this one by rotating it the opposite direction.
Just ordered one of these to replace an old shimano sahara. Can't wait for it to come in.
I still love mine, it’s simple and it just works! Good luck!
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 when you first put line on your reel was it making a loud noise? Do i have to pull out the bearing and put oil on it?
Please let me know what size that reel is??
I think he had the 30/3000 size, imo perfect size for cranking in big bass or even modest pike
Revo or the lews Mach 2? Which one is better?
Definitely the Revo, hands down!
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556
Awesome thanks
can you use this for trout ?
I’d say so- the drag is buttery smooth so if you’re doing Brooke trout the 10 size will serve you well and if you love Lakers the 40 size will also have you loyaly covered
This or the lews custom tlc3000?
Both are great but I would say my favorite is the Revo x.
now it's 2023, is it worth buying?
Absolutely, it's still great!
if you can still find them- absolutely some retailers are even putting them on clearance because of the model revo x!
What rod is that
Lews Reactor rod from Walmart
can use in saltwater?
Sorry man, this one is freshwater only.
I use mine in both fresh an salt. Never had a issue.
@@nolimitracing9752 i use mine on a 6.6 st croix triumph for fluking and its amazing
This or kastking speed demon elite?
I have never personally tried the KastKing but I know their speed demon products are pretty solid. I would say either one would be a good purchase.
No the gearbox is but the frame is not aluminum
This thing is junk. I've only used it pond hopping and bearings are already shot.
