Lunkerpunkerfanatic97 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Has anyone use the abu Garcia 18 Roxani power shooter? i've been trying to find out if it's good for swimbaits/ glide baits (under 10oz or i'll be using it for 1-6ozes). but i've had no luck finding out anything useful expect for the specs on the reel. because everything is in Japanese, would you snag it or pass on it? here are some photos the sight had. i've tried contacting the japan side of abu and it told me my email was rejected. any help would really be appreciated. the specs are: Hand Retrieve: Right-Handed Weight: 242g Gear Ratio: 8.0:1 Max Drag: 7kg (7lbs) Line Retrieve/Crank: 88cm Ball/Roller Bearings: 4/1 Line Capacity(lb-m): 16-125, 20-100, 25-85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbaitrookie Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 No experience with that reel but thousands of hours with the original revo toro 50's and they are tanks. If the internals are anything near the same quality it'd be a beast. One thing to check out if possible is the drive shaft size / shape. The drive shaft on the newer revo beasts I tried is square which pretty much eliminates all but one brand of aftermarket handle. That and the knobs were not a standard size so not easily changeable if you don't want those door handles. If you could get a "exploded diagram" of the reel you might be able to tell if the drive shaft is square or rectangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
