As I write this, my Revo Premier Spin 10 by Abu Garcia is sat collecting dust on the shelf. The reason it hasn’t had an outing for a while is that the anti-reverse bearing has failed. It’s only a problem in the cold, but the result is a sudden slip into reverse wind when the rotor is under tension, resulting in sore knuckles or worse, a lost fish. But don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a negative review at all. Far from it.

Lightest Spinning Reel
With the current Japanese trend for hyper-light, 5 to 6ft light game fishing rods weighing in at under 60 grams, I couldn’t help but explore the options for a matching reel and try to answer the question, “what is the lightest spinning reel?”
Abu Works Custom Reel Parts
Nice find at a Japanese wholesaler in Osaka. First time I’ve seen custom reel parts for the Revo spinning reel platform. This Revo 2000 RS74 SP Kit from Abu Works looked super dope!
