Abu Garcia PREMIER

[rtoler]

Has anyone tried the Premier and liked it?

[plugger]

I guess not , Randy. I have some old Revo Premiers that are really good but I don't know about the new ones .

[Ibtsoom]

I've got one Revo SX and I like it a lot but havent tried anything else.

i have one, worked great for about a year then the pin on the side that holds the brake plate on snapped off inside there. of course that isnt under manf. warrenty so i really dont have a clue how to fix it... but other than that was great $300 reel

I like my shimano's too. But that little lews speeds pool is easy on my wrist on a four hour cast-a-thon.

[walkinwader]

Heard lots of good things about those lews. How much do they run.....lookin for another reel pretty soon

Saw some at baad on hwy. 6. 120.00 and up. Might get a better deal at acrapedy or ftu. IMO worth every penny.

Thanks might have to give one a shot

Years ago I had Shimanos but after every trip it was wet inside and I had to take it apart and clean it . I switched to a Abu Garcia Revo and a Quantum with magnetic brakes instead of ABS braking system . They were bone dry inside after fishing and I love being able to easily adjust the breaks with a twist of the dial . The new Abu Garcia's have both ABS and magnetic brakes which I don't like as much .

[TroutSupport]

having both breaks (centrifugal and magnetic) is good once they are adjusted correctly.

I had a Revo STX for a short time and liked it.

I fish with Lews now for for reasons not pertaining to Abu... I like the Lews Tournament Pro and the Inshore as well.

[rtoler]

I have always thrown Shimano. I currently use the Core's and love them but I am always looking for the best. And as plugger said the adjustment on the side is really cool.

[SaltyBass]

Whoa now! Is anybody else having issues with their shimanos getting wet on the inside? I thought they were sealed systems at least the drag and bearings are supposed to be... that comment just made me pucker a little bit after recently switching from stx to chronarchs!!

[plugger]

I had the Chronarchs years ago . I am curious as how dry they are now . I still like the magnetic brake system .
