Abu Garcia Revo X Spinning Fishing Reel

6 stainless steel HPCR bearings + 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection

Top Positive Review

Best $99 spinning reel for walleye fishing. Bearings were smooth and you have great control for jigging to move slow or reel in lots of line with the gear ratio. Drag was great and it worked exactly as it should. Only con is it is heavier than the revo Ike. So if you are going to jig for a 10 hour day get you jigging arm in shape. The only reason I am giving this reel 4 stars is because I fished this next to the revo Ike Which is a true 5 star reel.

Top Critical Review

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with this reel AFTER putting it to the test versus some incredibly strong smallmouth. Midway through the second trip the reel began catching or sticking mid-crank while under tension. So basically while retrieving it would stick and I would have to crank much harder than usual. I don??t need to explain why that??s completely unacceptable while fishing let alone finesse fishing. While not under tension the reel would still free spin fine so it was only noticeable when actually using it to fish. It may have been easily remedied by servicing but I didn??t think this should happen so quickly for $100 reel so I just wanted to part ways Abu Garcia. I was going to try the x30 but opted for a Shimano NASCI instead. Buyer beware

How many yards of 6 lb test mono hold on the size 10 model
Answer:

If you want to use 6-poung test mono, then I would recommend the size 30. The spool is fairly shallow (which I like . . . less wasted line at the core of the spool). I would say that the size 30 might hold 160 yards of 6-pound line. Line capacity info on reels is rarely accurate. The size 10 reel has a super tiny spool??

Whats the difference between the 10,20,30 and 40 models?? Bigger ? What reel would be appropriate for 4lb line?how many yards of line can it hold?
Answer: Each step up is a larger reel. 10 would be my choice for 4# line.
