Light And Tough
What is the point of a sporty good looking reel that is heavy and bends easily under moderate pressure? You wouldn’t even use buy one if it’s cheaper than a plate of fish and chips, would you? Anyway, the Abu Garcia Revo Ultracast BF8 comes with the well established built tough and yet lightweight Durametal frame.
The Durametal frame is not only lightweight and tough. It is also made to handle corrosion which means that it can be used catching fish out at sea. Of course this does not mean that you can drench it in saltwater (seawater) and just leave out to dry. You will still have to wash it down after your trip. Being able to handle corrosion means that it can handle corrosion a lot better than the usual frame.
Protected Pinion Bearing
Some of the weakest part of reels are the bearings. Some bearings do not get as much water on them as others. Those that do should be extra protected and thus the Abu Garcia Revo Ultracast BF8 comes with a Salt Shield pinion bearing that has a water repellent coating both inside the bearing and outside that repels water (saltwater) thus reducing the chances of salt crystal build-up.
Better And Smoother Performance
For better and smoother performance Abu Garcia uses well known High Performance Corrosion Resistant bearings (HPCR) which have been upgraded and redesigned for smoother performance and low rotational resistance, yet still able to handle heavy load pressure. This incredible bearing is called the Super Free HPCR Ball Bearing.
