Quick take
A low profile baitcasting reel with X2-Craftic alloy frame, high-speed retrieve, and 25 lb max drag.
The Revo SX HS is a right-handed low profile baitcasting reel with a 7.3:1 gear ratio that picks up about 32 inches of line per crank turn. It pairs an alloy frame with ten stainless steel bearings, an IVCB-6 braking system and a carbon matrix drag that tops out at 25 pounds. Its spool takes both mono and braid, so it suits anglers who throw lures on casting setups and want a quick retrieve.
