Fishing Gear: Abu Garcia Revo Winch

Abu Garcia Revo Winch

Description and Application: Featuring a 5.4:1 gear ratio, the Revo Winch excels at throwing crankbaits, swimbaits, vibrating jigs and A-rigs; with a 95mm bowed aluminum handle and D2 Gear System, the Revo Winch boasts more than enough torque and power to get the angriest of bass in. The Winch features an asymmetrical body design and our X2-Cräftic alloy frame and sideplate to provide the ultimate balance in weight, strength, and ergonomics. The EXD Concept design allows anglers to maximize their casting performance while our IVCB-6 braking system gives anglers ultimate control with nearly limitless braking options.

Staff Perspective:This is my go-to reel for nearly all moving baits—especially crankbaits and vibrating jigs—anything you need to move at a slower yet controlled pace. Being able to slow down a crankbait or Slobberknocker to keep it in the strike zone a little longer will produce more bites. When paired with a Veritas Winch Casting rod or an Ike Signature Delay rod, a perfect moving-bait rod-and-reel combo is born. The whole purpose of a slower reel with a slower rod precents the angler from ripping hooks out of the fish’s mouth during the hookset and especially during power runs at boat side.

Cost:$229.95
