The carbon washer Matrix Stack system is smooth, reliable, and predictable throughout the range. Time will tell if it’s as durable as promised.ĭuring battle, the Abu Garcia Revo SX has your back. ABU’s DuraClutch has no back play and works as it should when striking. The gearing feels beautifully meshed, and I’ve no doubt the 9 corrosion-resistant bearings contribute significantly to the buttery feel. When testing cast distance, I hooked a black drum from what seemed like 100 yards away, and the crank was seamless, throughout its belligerent dives for cover.

While I’m not one for complicated features, this system works well with little to no fuss. The Infini brake system is dual centrifugal/magnetic. Those fishing with lighter gear or hunting a smaller class of fish are also well catered for, as the Infini brake system takes the fear out of fishing light. The Infini II spool design has enhanced casting and allowed for greater line loads – handy for mono anglers. With 24 pounds of drag and a spool that’ll hold 140 yards of 30-pound braid, you’re well-armed for tackling trophy fish.
