Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
I was throwing a R. Clunn LC .5, 1/4 oz lure this morning with a REVO STX on a Kistler LTA66M. The reel did just fine throwing that light a bait. I don't think it will handle anything any lighter with this rod. But it did ok with the 1/4 oz lure.

Thanks for the update DR. We are always interested to hear about updates on these new reels that have come out wheather we like them or not. I cant remember anyone claiming this was going to be a finesse reel.

I can throw 3/16oz plastics on my STX all day long. Tackle Tour got it right when they said you can cast every lure in your tackle box with this reel.

247,
I have not tried anyting lighter than 1/4. As a matter of fact, I don't have anything lighter than 1/4 oz.

Re: Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
Yes, mine casts 1/4 oz lures very well. I have casted 1/4 oz spinnerbaits and buzzbaits with mine and it does great with them. I have also pitched 1/8-3/16 oz texas rigged plastics with it and it does that great as well. I really do love these reels...

Re: Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
Thanks for the update boys! I just picked my Revo STX HS in Cinncinati last week, and hopefully it will be united with a Crucial 6'10" MH 1/4 to 3/4 oz rod in the next 2 - 3 weeks. What type of line are using to throw these light of lures with ?

Re: Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
BTW, a spinnerbait's stated weight is usually based on the head alone; so a "¼ oz" spinnerbait is actually darn close to ½ oz after you've added the wire, hook, swivel, o-ring and blade(s).
Re: Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
yeah, but how often do you toss an 1/8 ounce jighead without a trailer.
you know what i'm saying.

Re: Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
I was throwing a 1/4 oz Rick Clunn LC .5 crank. I had no trailers or skirts. Just the crank.

Re: Revo STX and 1/4 oz lures
how do you compare the casting distance of the stx with it's competitors?
i think that's what mot people are curious about.

Oolie,
Look back at some of my post about the STX.
I sold every low profile reel I had and went to the STX. From 2 Steez down to Alphas from Daiwa and Chronarchs, curados, ETC. I sold them all.
That is what I think about the STX.
Just my Opinion, and when I am the one fishing with them, that is the only opinion I count.
