I've been looking at the new Revos that have been released. They look interesting with an asymmetrical low profile frame. What is everyones thoughts on these?

I've got an older model STX that I won in a contest from one of the Elite Series Pros after he used the reel for a season. That thing is bullet proof and still running strong. It's a great reel and should last you a long time.

Both are great looking reels.  I have 5 of the older 2009 models of the STX and like mentioned by FlatsNBay they're bullet proof.  They're still preforming strong.  I just picked up a new one during Christmas.  I've not matched it up with a rod or even spooled the line on it yet.

I also have 8 of the 2009 Revo S low profile reels and they're still preforming strong also.

The STX Gen 4 was on sale. Did you do what I did? Lol I bought three.
