Abu Revo Inshore first impressions

What's a C3????

What's a C3????

just the standard 3 bearing abu garcia ambassadeur. it's the C3 model.
they make a c4 and c5 too, with 4 and 5 bearings respectively.
the record has 6 bearings.

I used it again at Tomales for casting swimbaits on one rod and bouncing butts on the other.  Gotta say I love it more each time I use it.

If you still have 'em you could resurrect a few I'm sure by combining parts.

I'm going to box'em up and bring them to mendo for some professoinal and no-professoinal opions,  thanks

I still have a pile of round Abus that I love, but you are gonna love this reel Danglin.

but you are gonna love this reel Danglin

 Thanks,  Little nervous sight unseen,  but i don't have anything like this in my arsenal,

 and from what I've been reading from reviews and such, most seem to think it's the

 second coming  ..... Danglin

25 lbs of smooth stopping power in such a small reel seems pretty incredible.  Can't wait until one you gets to test it out on something real.  Better yet, it'll be interesting to see how it fares on Sean's next annual Baja trip.

Baja will indeed be the test...CANT wait!!!

Glenn at Fishermans Warehouse down in San Jose had (still has?) a picture of a pelagic that was taken on one of the "freshwater" Revos. I can't remember what species, but am thinking it was a Striped Marlin? Maybe a good sized Dorado? This was 4-5 months ago, well before the introduction of the Revo Inshore. Add more drag and 30 more yards of line, what's not to love?

This is where I purchased the reel...

  www.affordablefishing.com

 Cost me $190.00 ....  I think I did ok, the guy ( Adam ) even called me today because there was a shipping address snafu,

  really nice guy, said he would possibly give discounts to the club if ya mention NCKA...

 No... I am not getting any discounts or perks myself

  Just passing info and what to see what other NCKA Brother/Sisters think of these prices... Danglin

I picked up my REVo today for $210. Can't wait to give it a try. Here salmon salmon salmon!

What a difference a few trips made,

 I looked over many reviews, most talked about having minor backlash problems, but with some time,

really got in tune with the real. I had the same problems,  I teamed it up with  a 1/4 oz Okuma worm rod,

 felt great, but my cast were just, uncoordinated, don't know how to explain it. Adjusted it, worked well

 but not overall that impressed,  till today.

 "Let Go Luke" 

I couldn't believe the cast I was making today on the Sacramento River,

 I guess I just had to get used to it, but now I'm flinging stuff further than ever, with no

problems.  Can't wait to give the drag a Hard test..

  Great Reel!!!! ........... Danglin

but not overall that impressed,  till today.

Great Reel!!!! ........... Danglin

Gonna have to put this on my Christmas list too!  With a price tag of approximately$200, it will answer the ultimate question of whether I've been naughty or nice this year.
