only thing is i recomend staying away from the low end revo. the STX,or Premier, and the higher end ones are much better than the cheaper model.

i also have been using Pluhger reels here lately. got a great deal on a purist and a presibdent on ebay and they have performed well also. the new patriarc model is supposed to be right up there with the shimano's and garcias.
