I was lucky enough to grab this STX shortly after it came out. The best part is that I get to share it with my 5- and 8-year-old kids and can't wait until my 1-year-old can sling it. I have yet to tune this real and I've fished a bunch with it the last few years. It's taken a beating, since I throw lots of hard baits and fish fast. I'm always swapping it for my other Revo when I need to throw spinnerbaits. If I win a new Revo, then I'll have one for each of my kids! Nothing is more fun than watching them giggle as we catch bass out of my dad's pond.
