The low profile frame and side plate of the STX is made of X-Cräftic™ aluminum alloy. This material is more durable and lighter than regular aluminum and corrosion resistant. Eleven High Performance Corrosion Resistant (HPCR®) bearings provide the smooth casting with added distance. All STX models weigh just 8.92 ounces. STX reels hold 140 yards of 12-pound test monofilament fishing line. More than any others in their class. The STX series is available in two speeds, a 6.4:1 version, or a 7.1:1model and are now available in both right and left-hand models. The high speed 7.1:1 STX reels will sure help anglers with their pitching and flipping presentations as well as burning baits over grass. The Swedish engineered Revo also features Linear Magnetic™ brakes, Duragear™ brass gears and synchronized level wind. The STX models include an Infini II™ Spool design for the smoothest of operations, titanium nitride wormshaft and Everslik™ coated pinion shaft and pawl. Salt or fresh, like all Abu Garcia® reels, they are "Built for Life".
