We like Abu reels a lot, have for many years.  They're good straight ahead products, with high doses of fishability included.  We stock select products that have proven themselves very suitable for inshore fishing. These include some old favorites as well as Abu Garcia's newest introductions which are geared to our particularly salty style of application: Revo, Amabassadeur, C3, C4 and Record Series reels. Occasionally, we find some dandy buys of the more unusual Abu's. It's always worth checking our Weekly Specials...

REVO

The new REVO series of low profile baitcasters offer anglers a wonderful range of high quality fishing instruments in a compact and well thought out design. There are several reels in the series, but we narrowed our choices to two models, the SX and the Inshore. These two models fit our saltwater environment, and fit into our thinking of what a good inshore reel should represent. The reels feature a "Carbon Matrix" drag system - meaning, carbon fibre drag washers, well suited to larger harder pulling saltwater fish. They use an oversize brass main gear for better cranking power and long term reliability. These reels are well designed for going after stripers, bay bass, calico bass, shallow water rockfish,... And, they cross over well to fresh water applications, too.

REVO Inshore
The Inshore boasts some meaningful upgrades for saltwater application in addition to their wonderful ergonomic design:
6.4:1 retrieve rate
right and left hand retrieves (lefty pictured)
6 Stainless steel ball bearings and a roller bearing
Stainless steel crank shaft
6 pin adjustable centrifugal casting break
1 piece aluminum frame and crank side cover
175 yards of 12# line capacity
8.7 ounce weight
The Inshore comes with two handles, one for speed and one for power.

REVO SX

The SX is also an upgrade from the basic REVO design. You pick up some things like a magnetic cast control by stepping down, you also gain more bearings. Probably there will be a tad more maintenance with the SX verses the more robust Inshore, but you'll also have a bit more finesse. I think if you spend all your fishing time in salt water you'll like the Inshore more over time. But, if you do more freshwater than saltwater fishing, or are more inclined towards preventative maintenance the SX will fit your needs well.

The SX features:
6.4:1 gearing
10 Stainless steel ball bearings and o 1 Roller bearing
1 piece aluminum spool with crank side cover
Carbon Matrix Drag system
Duragear Brass Gears
Linear magnetic brake system
Aluminum spool
The reel holds 140 yds of 12# line and weighs 8.7 ounces

Abu Garcia Revo STX-HS

Abu came out with another wrinkle on the Revo base with their STX-HS High Speed reel. It's another upgrade high performance product in this versatile line. The STX features a 7:1 gear ratio! She's fast, very fast, and weighs in under 9 ounces. Line capacity is 175 yards of 12# line. The STX has a dual cast control system, with Infini Brake, a sealed centrifugal brake along with a linear magnetic braking system. The benefit is a greater range of cast control. The STX also makes use of the Carbon Matrix drag material/system for improved stopping power. The reel features an alloy frame and sideplates, and titanium wormshaft. You've got the durability of brass gears and 10 stainless steel ball bearings plus a corrosion resistant instant anti-reverse bearing. Low friction, high drag, great casting all combine in the STX to deliver a wonderful inshore reel. All and all, it's a dandy upgrade to the Revo.

Abu Garcia Revo Toro

The new Revo® Toro™ baitcast reels from Abu Garcia® takes the sleek and comfortable design of the low profile Revo reel and adds the high-capacity spool size found on their world famous round reels. This combination allows the angler to fight and turn a hard-driving and long-running fish right from the hookset. Available in two sizes, the Model 50 has a line capacity of 200 yards of 14-pound monofilament fishing line. The larger Model 60 will hold 250 yards of 14-pound line.

The low profile frame and side plate of the Toro is made of X-Cräftic™ aluminum alloy. This material is more durable and lighter than regular aluminum and is highly corrosion resistant. The seven High Performance Corrosion Resistant (HPCR®) bearings and Duragear™ brass gears add to the reel’s durability and long life. With 22-pounds of maximum drag, their  Carbon Matrix™ Drag System is double the strength of similar competitor models. This is particularly important with the hook set on a lake trout, turning a tough snook or bull red, or from keeping a monster muskie from entering a brush pile. Both the 10.3-ounce Model 50 and 10.8-ounce Model 60 Toro reels offer a high-speed 6.4:1 gear ratio version (50-HS and 60-HS) and a cranking speed 5.4:1 reel. The Swedish engineered Revo Toro also features an Infini II™ Spool design for the smoothest of operations, six-pin centrifugal break, synchronized level wind, line alarm and is packaged with both an Extended Throw and a Paddle Handle. Salt or fresh, like all Abu Garcia® reels, they are "Built for Life".

Abu Garcia Toro Winch!

You could say the Abu Revo revolutionized inshore fishing, their Toro expanded upon the Revo's capabilities with an even stronger saltwater reel made for extended use in the more demanding environment we commonly fish. It is capable of taking larger fish, and does so with a sleek, comfortable design with larger capacity. The newest Toro is perfect for large crank baits, flipping and pitching plastics and jigs in heavy cover. There are two reels in the series, both available in right and left hand retrieves. They feature 6 Stainless Steel HPCR Ball Bearings for solid long term saltwater performance, and a corrosion resistant instant anti-reverse bearing. Actually these new reels feature a dual anti-reverse! They use a new alloy frame and sideplate for additional corrosion resistance and new spool design for extended castability andheavier loads. Add duragear brass gears for longer life and heavier use and TiN coated levelwind system for even line lay and durability, and you have a long term fishing companion you'll enjoy for many, many years to come. To make casting more effortless, these new reels also offer a centrifugal brake for greater control. And, as their name might suggest, they have a substantial Carbon Matrix drag system which is smooth and powerful. The gear ratio is 4.6 to 1 for greater cranking power to match their heavier drag. How much drag? Well, a bunch with up to 22#'s on tap, and weigh a mere 10.3-10.8 ounces! And, they have clickers, too, as well as both a double and single paddle handle for added versatility. The reels are available in 2 sizes and both left and right hand retrieve. (@ 200 and 250 yds. of 14#)

Ambassadeur

The C3 Series of reels represents a great inshore duty reel. It's as comfortable fishing freshwater as the salty stuff. Don't think they're only for bass, I've taken plenty of yellowtail on these reels. They're a good solid reel, with nice casting properties.

The C3's feature 3 stainless steel ball bearings, 5.3:1 gears, a corrosion resistant anti-reverse, titanium nitride line guide and a FastCast thumbar.

The C4 series builds upon the C3 series of reels and enhances that offering with four stainless steel ball bearings, a faster 6.3:1 gear ratio, and enhanced cosmetics.

The new Record series from Abu offers 4 stainless steel ball bearings and two roller clutch bearings and most importantly their new Carbon Matrix Drag System. This allows the reel to offer greater drag service life and heavier drag settings. The Records also offer a six-pin centrifugal brake.

 

These models are all made in Sweden.
