Fishing Rods

I have 12 Kitler Rods and all of them have Revo SX or STX ' on them. The new Premier is light weight and feels good but I will reserve my opinion till they are on the market awhile longer.

The 6:4 to 1 REVO will work fine for most crankbaits you just have to change your thinking on how fast to reel. I persoanlly have Abu Garcia OLD 4600c'c on my crankbait rods with 4:7 to 1 ratios on them. If you can find an OLD 3:8 thats even better for LARGE crankbaits.

Just my 2 cents!

then, do not forget that round ones are very small so you can palm them very well.

This is great. I own 3 of the 100's and 2 of the 200's and seen this post on the ABEC 5 bearings. Been fishing these reels now for 3 years and cannot come up with a valid reason to go with a different reel. Where can I get the ABEC 5 bearings for these reels? Also after I get the bearings what do you recomend for lube........Hotsauce Rocket Fuel lemme know what you use.

i think a ABU GARCIA RECORD WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE!!!
I have been a loyal user of ABU GARCIA REELS and i have had no problems with them!

Lemme know what ya want for the abu. My youngest son loves the 4600's and this reel is just about the same size and I am sure he is tired of getting dads hand me downs.
