What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives a gearbox ratio of "1" without a conventional ratio format, so confirm the actual ratio before buying. It also lists bearing number "8" although the title and feature text state 8+1, and describes line capacity as "16lb/100m, PE3号/100m" while identifying the line type as monofilament. These listing details are inconsistent and should not be treated as resolved specifications. The listed 20 Pounds maximum drag and feature claim of up to 20lbs refer to the same nominal limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the right-hand version?

Yes. The listing specifies Right Hand and gives the size as Revo 5 Low Profile Right.

Does it come pre-spooled?

The listing says Not Pre-Spooled, so expect to add fishing line yourself.

What is the gear ratio?

The technical listing gives the value as "1", which does not clarify a conventional gear ratio. Confirm the actual ratio with the selected listing before purchase.

What line capacity is listed?

It states "16lb/100m, PE3号/100m" and separately identifies the line type as monofilament. The wording is not fully consistent, so confirm compatibility with your intended line.
