First Look: Abu Garcia REVO ALX Casting Reel

Walker Smith

This lightweight, compact bass fishing reel has some serious shoulders to it. Whether you’re finesse fishing or power fishing, its performance exceeds expectations.

I’ve tested several of the new, ultra-low profile bass fishing reels on the market and although they feel great in my hands, many of them have lacked the power I’d expect for such a lofty price tag. I’ve even had a few become inoperable after just a few months of heavy use.

With those experiences in mind, I spent a long time testing the Abu Garcia REVO ALX. I wanted to look beyond the sleek exterior and, for lack of a better term, put it through some abuse. After countless casts and lots of hooksets, I think this reel has some really nice features and plenty of backbone for handling big fish in demanding situations.

Below are my full thoughts on it.
