It's a left-hand reel designed for optimal performance in baitcasting.

Using the Abu Garcia Revo STX left-hand reel is straightforward. First, make sure the reel is properly mounted on your fishing rod. Then, thread your fishing line through the guides on the rod and onto the reel spool. When casting, hold the rod with your right hand (since it's a left-hand reel) and use your thumb to control the spool speed and prevent backlash. For braking, the IVCB-6 system offers a wide range of options, so adjust it according to the weight of your lure and the distance you want to cast. As for maintenance, after each use, rinse the reel with fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or debris. Dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of reel oil to the moving parts. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent rust and damage. Be careful not to over-tighten the drag system, as this can cause unnecessary wear on the components. If you notice any unusual noises or issues while using the reel, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional.
