For sure can’t compete with any of the mainstream offerings from Shimano and Daiwa But still nice reels, it’s good to see other companies coming out with new models
No matter how you look at it abu Garcia has their place as any other reel manufacturer personally abu's are work horses I've owned every brand out there they all have a place no need for negativity.
At the price point I think that revo sx rocket will be a good seller. I’ve got a few revos my rocket and winch are good for what they are designed for but the feel of them compared to shimano just feel like they will fall apart although I never have issues with them. I spoiled myself with a Metanium and now I want to change all my reels out to them.
I really like my Abu reels. First bait caster was my revo x I believe 4 years ago and it’s still runs great to this day. Saw it on sale as bass pro and picked it up for $60. The new models have a good body design. I believe it’ll be a very comfortable style or reel to hold, but why take away the aluminum frame and still have it priced higher???? Might have to skip over it and go straight to the sx

I was never a fan of the revo spinning reels but it seems like they put all their effort into the new spinning reels. 2 steps forward for the spinning reels and 2 steps back for the casting reels. This gen I'll be skipping the casting reels and checking out the spinning SP models. The Winch SP looks really nice.
Wow Carbon Frame for 120 bucks? I have an Older Orra sx and man I absolutely love that Reel and would like to try the Revo if I can happen upon one second hand. I like the new offerings but a little outta my wheelhouse lol.
Just picked up the abu revo 5 sx and I'm not liking the ivcb-4 brakes so far. I'll give it another go tomorrow but as it stands right now the brakes are far more difficult to tune then the mag breaks on my revo x.
I have not been a fan of the revo since the Gen 2 gen 3 killed it for me the American revos just had never been as good now that JDM ones were awesome well the mgx was the mg extreme 2 and then of course all of the JDM one but in my opinion lose has just surpassed after Garcia as far as I'm concerned even though they're coming out the same factory
They look cheap. They are assuming you will buy them because of the name brand on the reels. I guess we all should have been expecting this from Pure Fishing. They just can’t help but dilute a good brand. It was a good run. RIP Pflueger. I’m waiting on them to pull the plug on you. I bought two 5.4:1 Gen 4 Revo X’s while they were still available. Those will be the last Abu reels I will ever purchase.
They should focus on lower gear ratios cause not everyone likes braid it's also harder with a high gear ratio to crank bait using mono .Limit reels they have for guys like me to use cause the only one I've found is the Revo Winch with 5:4.1 but no high end reels . Probably forces to buy used reels and rebuild other than buying new cause they seem to cater to Tournaments and left the average angler out of the equation .
It really bothers me how the Doyo brands like to take advantage of ignorant buyers, they constantly come out with carbon body reels that they charge in some cases nearly $200! They sell the lews Mach models by the boat load ranging anywhere from $70 to $180 and they're no better than kastkings $40 reels, and don't get me started on the zeta. I did break down and buy an mgx2 because i wanted something smaller than my mgl 70, it was barely worth its price tag even being magnesium. Now you take into account what they want for the Lews elite ti and the Abu Zenons, they have straight up lost it!
I might be able to get my hands on that new Lews Elite Ti.. hopefully Doyo has taken their engineering to another level with that reel, but we wont know until it comes out
I don’t think Abu or Lew’s will ever go away…. There’s still a lot of pro anglers who are sponsored and advocate the brands just like Shimano and Daiwa. Besides Abu is still the big three brands that dominate in the bass industry and there is Abu Japan, Abu Korea and other international influence like Australia and Europe. Quantum would be a good example that is dying out slowly…
Abu needs to get rid of the person or persons who design these reels and get someone knows how to build a awesome reel come on man Abu wake up plus they need to build them in Japan there’s your problem there building them in Korea 👎👎👎
If they have not redesigned the release plate lever, then they are not very good for kayak fishing. And their customer service is the worst. They plain lied to me.
Gen 4 revo x is a winner. I have 4 and they've served me well...still going strong too.

Отличный обзор новинок!

In a couple of years, who knows if we will have any $99 reels made of aluminum
@@THEREELTEST Great point. The prices are going up for the materials, of course we will see it in the market
Every time I look at a new Abu release it makes me feel like fishing reel innovation has stopped.
Yeah, just stuffing the same old tech into new frames... Some Swedish billionaire should buy Abu and take it back to Sweden
Ansiedade batendo para ver a Abu Garcia... Brasil difícil de ver alguma aqui... parabéns pelos vídeos mestre...
Será que essa é sonora ou vc sabe de alguma abugarcia com saída sonora

The lowest reel they have to offer for anyone that doesn't want junk is the sx. I wish they still made the al-f
Hi man this is desaigned for salt water ?

Is it saltwater capable?

Cabela's has them for 87 bucks get'em while you can.
Abu is slowly going away
that will never happen, their are die hard abu fans. And their low end reels are hard to beat
I agree with you AliExpress reels look better than abu 😢

It needs to go away... back to Sweden and have real Swedish engineering
@@THEREELTEST im with you on that one
Looks a lot like the ARK reels. Not sure about this move. Going to have to at least borrow one.
Have you got your hands on the new slx rod yet?
Not yet...
The revo sx are good,stx gen 3
has bad thumbars,just sent my
In for repair, bad thumbar.
that revo sx looks like a $50 trash reel. daiwa and shimano keep pulling away from the pack
Looks like Chinese oem reel, just an opinion...
Abu needs to get rid of the person or persons who design these reels and get someone knows how to build a awesome reel come on man Abu wake up plus they need to build them in Japan there’s your problem there building them in Korea 👎👎👎
Korea is where the best reels are made short of Japan. Very good quality.

Abu Snorzia 😴😴😴
