On some past reels where manufacturers have tried similar strategies, the result has been all sorts of sharp edges and nooks and crannies that catch both line and fingers in awkward ways. I’m all for stripping away weight where possible, but not at the expense of strength or function. It’s right on par with the Shimano Stella (7.4 ounces) and Daiwa Certate (7.4 ounces) at more than $200 cheaper than the Daiwa and $600 cheaper than the Stella. The size 30 RKT weighs in at a light 7.6 ounces, which a generation ago would have been unthinkable. They also look somewhat like the company’s premium Zenon models, which cost over $500 apiece, more than twice as much as the RKT. The first thing I noticed when I took the RKT reels out of the box was the “race car red” coloration. Testing the Abu Garcia Revo Rocket Spinning Reel in the Field The Revo Rocket’s red color is as striking as its specs.
