And if you like purple and green, these reels are sexy as sin! However, aside from the reel color and comparing specs, the larger reel handle APPEARS to be the major (the ONLY?) difference between the Ike Revo and the Gen 4 STX. I throw Rio Ricos almost exclusively on the poppin' rod and I have easily picked up an extra 25-30 feet in distance. The closest comparison I have is a Revo Gen 1 STX and, well.there is no comparison! Line spools effortlessly off the reel I'm using for pitching, and while I haven't caught anything over five pounds, it's obvious that the drag does it's job effortlessly. Its Infini brake system and Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag provide effortless castability with the punch to handle anything that swims. One reel is working full-time on a 6'8" Zell Rowland medium action popper rod and one reel is silky-smooth on a 7'3" Heavy Pitchin' Stick.

My main rod for it is a 7ft ducket medium cranking rod, with just about any crankbait. Beautiful, casts extremely well!Ĭomments: I got the revo IKE when it first came out, and i love it. I continued to use the Reel another year to pitch a Jig and soft plastics so I didn't have to crank much and listen to the gears cause it drove me nuts, sent it back to Abu Garcia for repair and they charged me $37 for repairs and shipping.Ĭomments: Crazy amazing reel! My new favorite. I purchased this reel not long after it was available and mounted on the Ike 7ft medium Rod, its a sweet looking Combo indeed but after using it a year to throw a spinnerbait it started making noise, as in I could hear the gears when I cranked it, servicing and lube didn't solve the issue.
