My favorite moment while testing these reels was when I was kayak fishing a few months back and landed a 4 lb stud off a worm that was slowly making its way into a non-windblown cove with the sun hitting the trees just right to make a faint reflection off the water. All these features make this reel incredibly durable and long-lasting which is great considering its price point. The MGXtreme spinning reel also features Abu Garcia’s corrosion protection (Salt Shield) as well as an internal tripping mechanism which gives a louder thud when closing the bail wire for added security. As for performance, the reel’s AMGearing system provided precise gear feel with each cast or retrieve. The EVA knob is also flat rather than round, which I really appreciated because it provided better control when casting or retrieving. It has a compact bent carbon handle that felt comfortable in my hands even after long days on the water. The MGXtreme spinning reel also has two aluminum spools (one shallow, one more shallow), so I was able to easily switch between different lines depending on the situation. The drag is also adjustable, so you can easily dial in your preferred settings depending on what type of fish you’re targeting. The drag was smooth and consistent throughout the entire range, so I never felt like I was overloading it or losing too much pressure. I was impressed with how well Abu Garcia’s Carbon Matrix drag system worked right out of the box. Additionally, there is also a K-Clutch anti-reverse bearing and two bearings on the line roller to reduce friction and prevent line twisting. The reels come in two sizes, the 20 and the 30, with each one offering a gear ratio of 6.2:1 and an 11-bearing system including 11 stainless steel HPCR bearings and 1 roller bearing for smooth operation. I used a variety of lines, from braid with a leader for plastics to fluorocarbon straight through with hardbodies. I spent the past few months testing the Abu Garcia Revo MGX Spinning Reel in various conditions, from offshore fishing for brim and flatheads to casting for bass in heavy cover. It’s a reliable reel that offers a lot of features and capabilities, so I wanted to see how it would handle in a range of situations. That’s why I was excited to try out Abu Garcia’s Revo MGX Spinning Reel. As a nine-time Bassmaster Angler of the Year and a member of the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with different fishing gear. If you want to get serious about bass fishing, then you need to have the right gear.
