We like Abu reels a lot, have for many years.  They're good straight ahead products, with high doses of fishability included.  They have recently introduced several series of reels which we are stocking.

The Newest From Abu Garcia

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.

Abu Garcia Revo Inshore $229.99
Abu Garcia Revo Inshore Lefty $229.99

 

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

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.

Special Purchase Opportunity

Abu Garcia Big Game 9000 CT

Abu Garcia's Big Game series reels are nice lighter line fishing reels. These reels are heavier duty products than the traditional Abu, that's really more suited for inshore and freshwater fishing. The Big Game series is more robust, and more capable of dealing with heavier lines...and fish!

The 9000CT and 10000CT feature a 4.2:1 gear ratio, 3 stainless steel bearings, with precision cut brass and stainless steel gears. They even have a "clicker" to aid in bait fishing and a cast control.

We have secured the two largest non-levelwind Abu Big Game reels: 9000CT and 10000CT. They are appropriate for 20-25# lines, and quite fit for fishing inshore and freshwater. These models come with reel clamps.
