Abu Garcia has expanded their spinning reel lineup for this year with the introduction of two new freshwater spinning reels in the Revo series. Abu is now offering anglers the Revo Premier and MGX in spinning reels. These reels boast all the refinements that are poplar in their other reels that fans are familliar with, but now they can get higher end spinning reels.

Traditional spinning reels have always been slower, so this is an interesting change. MSRP on the MGX spinning is $299.
