Bought one recently and since then, have read some disturbing reports about poor corosion resistance and some pot metal part in the spool release plunger that wears very quickly.
I own a few Shimanos and thought I`d give an ABU a go this time. Have I made a mistake? How`s your Revo going?

Reggy, I own a revo inshore and can't fault it. Have it serviced once a year and you should'nt have any dramas with it.

Another point that confuses me is that ABU state 10kgs of max drag, but recommend 6 kg line for this reel.

The pinion gear looks like it would strip under that max drag and the reel only has a roller bearing for it`s anti reverse.
Even the Torium`s roller bearing which is a lot bigger, lets go at 18 pounds of drag.
Am I missing something here?
