One word, lighter, 27% lighter than the Revo STX. The Revo Premier weighs in at 6.35oz making it the lightest aluminum baitcaster on the market.
Abu Garcia also took advantage of HPCR bearing technology making this reel not only light but extremely smooth and corrosion resistant. The stainless steel bearings provide smooth casting and retrieving performance with extreme durability. The already famous Carbon Matrix Drag System puts out an astonishing 20lbs of drag, combine this with the aircraft grade aluminum spool and Infinity II spool technology and the Revo Premier will get your cast to the fish and the fish back to you.
