    I do a bit of long distance surfcasting with long rods and conventional open-face reels. When I'm tuning my reels, several factors come into play: magnetic brake setting, number and size of centrifugal brake blocks, viscosity of the oil (if any) in the bearings, type of bearings (steel vs. ceramic), weight of spool (effects inertia), amount of line on spool (effects how fast the spool needs to rotate to cast off line). I assume that for a bait caster to cast further than another, it comes down to one or more of these factors well.

    Great video! new to bait casting myself been fishing with the Abu Garcia Black Max for 3 months now caught some fish on it I can cast now pretty much without bird nesting, looking to step up I think so that I have two bait casters one for myself and then one for whoever comes along for the ride. the Black Max is a pretty incredible setup for the money it's a pretty incredible setup. I like the Abu Garcia stuff really enjoy the action in the rod the combo that it came with, nice and stiff super responsive and handles heavier lures with ease but the tip guide, it's terrible! it roughs up my line pretty well so with my new reel I'm going to be looking at getting a nicer rod as well since you work for one of the largest sporting goods chains your advice will be greatly appreciated I thank you in advance!

    Hi there , im planning to buy a reel exclusively for saltwater use and did a bit research on saltwater reels . One of the name that came up is abu garcia revo4x inshore which is within my budget , the price is 165 usd in india. And Curado K301 which is 225 USD was suggested by few , but im not sure whether its a saltwater reel or not. Kindly do opine. In your opinion hows the revo 4x ( inshore is same as revo4x except corrosion resistant ) ? Also while compared to curado K ?

  • @humbugvideos

    I have personally never used either for the salt yet. The Revo inshore is actually meant for saltwater, and most Shimanos do well in the salt as well. I’m not 100% sure if all curados are sealed or not. No matter what reel you go with, always rinse with freshwater after each trip, that helps big time with any internal parts that possibly could’ve been exposed to salt. Hope this help, for more info I’d check their websites and contact the companies themselves! 🤟🏽

    At nearly every price point comparison abu typically always look better on paper. Eight bearings to three, eighteen pound drag to eleven. Even going up to the next price point Abu looks better. At first I don't think this matters but I think it pays off over time. abu will run better dirty, and last longer before maintenance.

    Remember the amount of line can dictate how far the cast is. If the revo has more line say 145 yards it won’t cast as far as say 100 yards would. That could be a variable is to make sure both reels have the same amount of line on.

    Just because a reel has more bearings doesn't make it a better reel. I see too many people at my work try to base their purchase solely off which reel has more bearing. Its not about which one has more, its about how well they use them. The 13 fishing concept Z is a perfect example of this. Like I said in the video, both reels were tuned before taking test results in order to get the maximum distance without backlash.

    I still think the only thing the Revo x does that the slx can't do is provide more line and a tad higher drag which really doesn't mean anything. The quality of the drag on the Shimano is better, it casts further in almost every category, the braking system is extremely well rounded. The slx is also made much better. The slx will last longer. To each his own. The x has also been advertised @ $39.99.

    @@lmsmbassaddict7378 Take it easy, Ben Shapiro. Nobody's feelings are hurt. Two things can coexist, you know. I can mention that you have no proof for most of those claims while also being able to handle disagreement. Typical troll though. Facts get questioned, replies with "no, facts." Laughable dude. Where's the proof?

    You re too shimano guy 🤣 I can cast 1 oz jig for 90+ yards easily with Revo X and 6’9” rod.

    Everyone has different casts. Revo X is wayyyy smoother in terms of casting and reeling. 8 ball bearings! For the same price as the SLX 4 bearings. And the Revo X actually has the ability to cast farther as well...Shimano is overrated!

    We can agree to disagree on this one, however I advise you to not determine a reel solely based on its ball bearing count. 13 Fishing has made a reel that has NONE of them and its amazing. They are both excellent reels for $100 and have their purposes. Thanks for watching Kyle!
