Abu Garciareels are among the benchmark models for predator anglers the world over. Serious competitors to prestigious brands such as Daiwa and Shimano, an Abu Garciacasting reel and spinning reel rivals inventiveness and quality to accompany you on your fishing trips of all kinds.
The spinners are extremely smooth running. This smoothness has been made possible by the development of technology and choice of materials, including roller bearings, a carbon rotor on some models and a very light alloy frame. The stainless steelball bearings also contribute to the comfort and continuity of the reel.
Abu Garcia casting reels have no fewer qualities. The spool drag system gives you controlled casts, the fight is managed with a powerful and durable carbon drag and all this is easy to use thanks to a very precise adjustment. You'll find much of this technology on many models, including the abu garcia revo beast, the abu garcia revo rocket and the abu garcia Zenon.
As we mentioned in the introduction, the brand's clearly rival the premium brands on the market. This is due to the fact that the brand has been present on the American market for a very long time, which has pushed it to catch up with the biggest and most technologically advanced brands.
To achieve this, the spinning reels benefit from a number of unique technologies, developed specifically to offer great qualities to the most demanding anglers. In fact, a model like the Zenon is clearly the benchmark for all fine lure anglers.
One of the main advantages of choosing a Zenon model is its light weight. The various frames on offer, whether magnesium or in a frame developed by the engineers, add a real plus to the balance of your rigs. For example, abu garcia Zenon rods will naturally go perfectly with a reel of the same name.
The carbon rotor is another technological advance. In keeping with the desire to offer a lighter weight, it also ensures smooth operation. In fact, this almost airy feel when spinning ensures there are no jerks or hard spots at the top or bottom when retrieving. The Abu Garcia Revo ALX is one of those models lucky enough to benefit from such technology.
The brakes are also part of the Abu Garcia know-how. You can regularly count on a carbon brake which will have the immense advantage of offering you not only power, but also endurance and progressiveness in the release of your line body during battles. Virtually the entire range has this technology.
Last but not least, HPCR ball bearings are another big step forward for anglers. Highly resistant to corrosion, they can be used in a wide variety of ways and will last longer - all at a reasonable investment.
The brand will be organised around the following models:
Zenon Spinning
Zenon MGX
Zenon X
Revo ALX
Revo Winch
Revo Rocket
Revo SX
Abu Garcia Revo X
Revo Winch
The Revo X

Abu Garcia casting reels
The range of range is probably even bigger. With dozens of different models for a wide range of uses, you'll be equally at home with baitfiness, stalking pike or jigging in the sea. Combined with rods from the same brand, you're sure to get the right balance.
You'll find cutting-edge technology on a par with spinning models, with special attention paid to the roller bearing, which ensures smooth operation during use. This smoothness of operation is enhanced by high-quality ball bearings that offer good endurance over time. What's more, the hpcrstainless steel they're made of is sure to keep corrosion at bay, even after many years of use.
The brand's manufacturing techniques are also distinguished by the extremely precise adjustment you can make to each model. Both an abu garcia Revo Rocket and an abu garcia revo beast can be fitted with external knobs to provide that all-important fine-tuning.
Abu Garcia is also the only brand to use roller bearings. Also in hpcr stainless steel, these roller bearings have the advantage of greater stability and much less play over time. They are slightly less fluid, due to more friction during rotation, but ideally positioned, they remain very solid steel bearings.
Another essential feature of the brand's range of casting reels is the magnetic brake. Designed to control the exit of your line when casting, this is a different concept from the centrifugal drags found at Daiwa or Shimano. You'll find a selector on the side of the flange to allow you to release the spool more or less for casting. There's no need to reach inside the reel and risk dropping parts.
Here are the brand's main flagship models:
Revo Toro Beast
Revo Beast
Revo Beast X
Max Low Profil
Zenon with the MG-LTX, MG-X and X
Revo STX, SX and Revo S
Revo X
Max Pro Low Profile
Max Stx Low Profile
Max X Low Profile
Max and Maxtoro DLC with line counters
And last but not least, the Morrum and Ambassadeur Beast round profiles
You'll be spoilt for choice and be able to find a model to suit your rod, with different possible budgets. The number of ball bearings will vary, as will their steel or non-steel bearing qualities.
