Abu Garcia Revo Review
I can honestly say that I am finally happy with an Abu Garcia product. The new Revo reels in the 60 size have been working flawlessly. I have smaller hands and they fit into my palm easily. I have noticed that I do not get as fatigued as I used to after fishing all day. I attribute this to the low-profile of the reel.
I have been using these reels day in and day out since opener. So far I haven't had any problems with them. I have been twitching crankbaits, ripping magnum bulldawgs and throwing pounders without a hic-cup. I recommend keeping them oiled and clean like any reel.
If you are interested in purchasing a musky reel take a serious look at the new Abu Garcia Revo Toro in the 60 size and if you like to palm your reel you will love them.

Thanks for the good review. If those things can handle your abuse on a daily basis, then they are worth the money.
I got mine in three days from http://www.lg-outdoors.com/ for $233 shipped!
There is also a coupon for free sunglasses that can be found here if you purchase soon:

See you in a few weeks for three days of fishing!

There is a slower gear ratio coming out this fall sometime. I believe that it is 4.3 to 1. This will be a great reel for slow rolling blades at night.

Ern,
You might want to try to give Thorne's a call. 763-572-3782
They should have them. Mine are being repaired right now. They didn't last an entire season but they sure tried. I am impressed by the service that I received from Abu though.
