If I want pure muscle, I'll use my ambas
uer reels (winches). You cant find a tough reel for salmon mainly. But with any other fishing I use Shimano all the way. The Shimano Calcutta was the first SMOOTH baitcaster I ever used, now I fish with a Cailais and I love it. I don't know much about the Revo, but I have tossed a rig around the shop with one and it was smooth, and I really liked the quick retreive. Jigs, I fish both a baitcaster and spinning rod, it depends on where I am, I like the baitcaster down river where I am using a little more lead. When I move up river I use my spinning rod more and more, I don't like throwing one splitshot sinker on a baitcaster. As far as sensitivity, I use braid on the spinning rod and hold the line on my trigger finger, never had any issues. Other than my drag to loose when I jerk and I cut my finger, just tighten the drag a little and no problem. My brother in-law just bought a Revo and he loves it, so I guess it's personal preference. Enjoy. And I'll continue enjoying my shimanos also. Speaking of quick retreive, Jigs, the baitcaster doesn't come close to the retreive you get out of a spinning outfit, which also comes in handy in smaller water, when you don't have as much line in the water to "drag" on the fish. You know what I'm talking about?
