That's what happens when you put a "cool" name on something at ICast.

It's like a revised Toro. No new tech, same specs as most of the Revo lineup. Pretty bland compared to the new Zillion, although the Zillion seems to just be a rehashed Tatula. I would have much preferred to see a 13 reel win this. At least it;s not the Duckett :lol:

Over the conquest?! Nfw.
Given that the new zillion is basically a pimped tatula I can see why it didn't win. But a revo besting a conquest? That's a trip.
Wonder how much that award cost Abu :lol:

I think the conquest reel should have won this. Anyways, Shimano solved a problem that happens when you get your finger stuck in the levelwind. Watch the video at 1:27 where the Shimano Rep talks about this. Kudos to shimano.

It happened to me a couple of times and that's why it stuck out at me when I was watching the video on tacklewarehouse.
