This is usually accomplished by installing an array of magnets within the non handle sideplate that can be moved towards or away from the reel's spool via a dial. Depending on the implementation, magnets offer you consistent braking force throughout your cast. For the majority of its tests, I was fishing it spooled with some 14lb Sunline Sniper BMS Fluorocarbon and mounted on Edge Rod's original Black Widow 705-1.įlip this lever in back to open the non-handle sideplate andĬasting: Why did I feel it unfortunate that the Revo4 Rocket comes with the same braking system as the previous generation? Abu Garcia's Infini braking system is a hybrid giving you both magnetic and centrifugal braking. I'm a little late with this review only because I've been enjoying my time with this reel too much. Spooled with some Sunline Sniper BMS for our tests Unfortunately, the Revo4 Rocket comes with the same Infini (magnetic + centrifugal) braking system as the previous generation and now offered in the SX lineup. The one upgrade I was hoping for the most was the incorporation of the manufacturer's IVCB-6L braking system in the Rocket. Weighing only 13.8 ounces, the reel boasts an impressive max drag of 25 pounds with a carbon fiber drag system. The Rocket is essentially a Revo with a souped up The Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast is another reel that pushes the boundaries of what a low-profile baitcaster is capable of, and it packs a ton of punch into a compact design. It was essentially an STX with a souped up transmission, so when I first laid my greedy little enthusiast paws on the new Rocket, I was excited, expecting it to have the same upgrades as the Revo4 STX. At the time, it was the very first low profile baitcasting reel to crest eight point whatever, and featured a 9.0:1 retrieve ratio. The Revo Rocket made its debut during the Gen 3 iteration of Abu Garcia's Revo Suite. Introducing the 10.1:1 retrieve ratio Abu Garcia Revo4 Rocket I bring this up here to simply point out the Revo4 Rocket is a very familiar shape and profile. It's quite obvious and if you didn't know that before, you do now. Those familiar with Abu Garcia's line of Revo, low profile baitcasting reels know the manufacturer essentially uses the same frame and sideplate design throughout the lineup and simply swaps components (most notably the braking system and drag stack) to achieve different levels of performance at different price points to define the suite.
