The team partnered with Angler’s Inn at Lake El Salto, Mexico to field test the reels against many bucket mouths.
“I really believe anglers will love these reels more than the Revo predecessors,” said Andrew Wheeler, Abu Garcia Product Manager. “Abu Garcia listens to anglers and want to give them reels they can trust. The newest Abu Garcia Revo reels pushes the envelope of extremely lightweight reels designed and built to perform and last.”
