Abu Garcia Revo5 SX Low Profile

Abu Garcia continually refines its baitcasters, and the Revo SX Low Profile represents the fifth generation of this well-established series.

The 5th Generation of the Revo Low Profile

The Abu Garcia Revo SX Low Profile is the 5th generation of this popular baitcaster, built with the goal of delivering the highest precision, power, and performance in its class. The foundation is a frame made from X2-Craftic alloy combined with an asymmetric body design - a pairing that gives Abu Garcia the balance between low weight, high strength, and comfortable ergonomics. The Power Stack Carbon Matrix drag puts out a drag force of 11.2 kg, which means serious stopping power even when you're fighting a big fish. To make sure the cranking side keeps up with the drag, Abu Garcia brought in the D2 Gear Design, delivering high torque and the muscle to haul large fish to the net. Before any of that, though, you need to get the lure where you want it - and the Revo SX Low Profile handles that just as well. The EXD Concept Design paired with the IVCB-6 casting control system gives you maximum casting performance across a casting weight range of 10-60 g.

2 Models with Different Gear Ratios

There are 2 models of the Abu Garcia Revo SX Low Profile available. Both are left-hand retrieve (LH) models with the handle on the left side. Most specs - weight, line capacity, and drag force - are shared between them; the difference lies in the gear ratio and therefore the line retrieve per crank. The Revo5SXLP-L runs at a gear ratio of 6.6:1 with a line retrieve of 74 cm per turn. The Revo5HSLP-L steps it up to 7.3:1 and retrieves 80 cm per turn. As a general rule, high-resistance lures such as large crankbaits and spinnerbaits work better on a slower-ratio reel. Lures like jigs and jerkbaits, where you need to pick up slack line quickly, are more comfortable to fish on a faster reel, as it's easier to maintain direct contact even at pace.
