Abu Garcia Revo 5 SX VOLTIQ Baitcast Reel
Stop letting backlashes ruin your session the moment the wind picks up or your lure weight changes. The Abu Garcia Revo 5 SX VOLTIQ Baitcast Reel uses an intelligent electronic "brain" to read spool rotation and adjust braking instantly, delivering flawless distance every time. It is the ultimate high-tech security blanket for anglers who demand precision in unpredictable Australian conditions.
Intelligent Power for Serious Salt and Freshwater Anglers
The Revo 5 SX VoltIQ is a powerhouse designed for those who demand both finesse and brute strength. By housing the innovative VoltiQ electronic cast control within an X2-Cräftic™ alloy frame, Abu Garcia has created a low profile baitcaster reel that is virtually indestructible yet incredibly refined. Why does this matter? It means you can punch lures into a stiff headwind on the Daly River or skip frogs into heavy timber with total confidence. When you buy Abu reels online at Boss Outdoor, you are getting a reel equipped with a massive 11.3kg Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag—unprecedented stopping power for a compact reel—ensuring you win the tug-of-war against the meanest Murray Cod or saltwater predators.
