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.

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!
YGK G-Soul PE Braid
New braid for a new reel. Have filled this little Abu Revo Premier with the rather luxurious feeling YGK G-Soul PE in 0.3 (5lb). This combo will be used for UL duties, both freshwater and salt.
Abu Garcia Revo Premier
Released last year, Abu Garcia’s Revo Premier spinning reel caught my attention because of the ultra shallow spool.
