Has anyone looked at or purchased the new Revo “Reese” model yet? I don’t need his name or the yellow color to induce me to buy it. How much more smoothness ect. am I getting for the extra $79.00 vs the STX at $200. Thanks for your input.
I have 2 Premiers whcih are a step up from the STX. I had compared them to the STX and would say they are a step up in smooth and casability. I have not had a baklash with these Premiers as you can fine tune them. I think the Reese model is smoother than both as they are using the same bearings as the Premier but have more of them. I would buy the Reese for the extra money. The Reese was not our when I bought my Premiers but then again I bought them for $150 apiece at The FFO store in Spirit Lake.
The reese reels are basicaly a premier with extra bearings, a six pin brake, and a different handle. They are very nice reels, but it kinda depends what you plan on doing with it. If you only plan on using it for one specific technequic I would say go for it. But if you plan on going from pitchin’ and flipin’ to bombing cranks to soft plastics I think either the premier or the stx would be a better fit with the magnetic brake. The magnetic brake makes it very easy to tune the reel quickly (wind, casting style, lure changes, etc.) and is very forgiving, much more so then the six pin. I have them all and realy enjoy them, but the reese I have only sees one rod and is used only for lipless cranks. Which ever way you decide to go I think you will be happy with it, they are all very nice casters.
