Horse racing might be the sport of kings, but fishing is the sport of men. The world over it is considered one of the finest ways to spend a lazy afternoon with family and friends there is. If you crack open a few beers, or soft drinks depending on age, and kick back there is no end to the fun you can have.

Some even go fishing simply for the relaxation effect from being alone, and away from everyone else. The problems fade away and it is just them and the fish.

However, despite the therapeutic and social aspects of fishing there is still one key component. The fishing itself!

A rod, a reel, some line, a few hooks, and some bait, these are all the items one needs to go out and catch a few fish. Simple enough, except that not everything is created equal.

Some brands of rod snap more often, line can be weaker than advertised, reels can be clunky and hard to work, hooks can bend, and bait.. well that varies no matter what you do. While most of these occurences is outside the scope of this article, there is the reel to address.

There are many kinds of reels in the world but few compare to the world renowned Abu Garcia brand. They have many models currently on the market such as the low profile bait cast reels like the REVO series reels.

The REVO series comes in several particular sub-series models, such as the REVO TORO and the REVO S series. There are many reasons why people prefer this model. The low profile of the reel makes it more comfortable in your hand for instance. Some prefer the fact that it has an enlarged drive gear allowing for much greater fish fighting power than some other brands.

Other noted models in the Abu Garcia Bait Casting Reels line are their round reels, such as the BCX series, and their line caster reels, like the Abu Garcia A20 line counter reels. These two branches of the Sea Fishing Reels family are just as sought after as the low profile variety.

The round reels are noted for their durability and their ease of use. The low price and high quality don't hurt their sales either. These reels vary in the number of ball bearings they are constructed with. Some of the models focus on power, others focus on ease of casting. A few try to find that elusive middle ground that we all know and love.

The Abu Garcia Reels are all about dependability. Many of them are constructed from high-end Swedish engineered gear systems. The A20 for instance has a brass system of this design that is phenomenal for the price they charge. The mechanical line counters and power handles are considered top notch in the industry.

Overall the Abu Garcia brand is the perfect tool for catching fish. With one of these on your rod you can sit back, crack open a cold one and just let the good life seep in.
