>>655107>I'm thinking Abu Revo SI was impressed enough to purchase a second one.. They trump my finicky Black Max by far, and noticeably outperform my Pro Max.
I bought the first one along with an 7' M/F Veritas 2.0 with the intention of producing a topwater baitcasting setup for lures that were a bit too big for my light-spinning gear. Not thinking I lined it with fluorocarbon and promptly found out sinking line and surface lures don't exactly work together. It did however make for an awesome jerkbait combo, and I found out enough to about the rod's action to know I'd like another for poppers and spooks. So I duplicated the setup and lined up with some mono that time around. Like a charm.
The centrifugal brake is something to consider. I find it works beautifully but it isn't as quick to adjust as the magnetic brakes are on the Max reels. It's not a long process (open the side-cover, adjust switches as necessary, close the cover) but if you're fishing tournaments or the sort you'll probably only be using it for one or two techniques to avoid spending time adjusting every time you switch lure types. If you're fishing casually or don't mind the extra steps in adjusting the brake I think you'll be very pleased with one.
