Inspect your reel immediately upon arrival.
Purchased a "new" Revo X but what arrived was not new at all. Both the shipping and packaging boxes were fine, undamaged. Inside, the reel was not in a plastic bag and had leaked oil on the Warranty Info paper. Closer inspection revealed missing paint in multiple places as well. Then, just for fun, I have the handle a crank. Instead of the smooth operation there was a grinding and squeaking sound and the vibrations through the handle itself felt like gravel. I backed off the drag and brake to the fullest extent and there was no change in the ominous sound or feel.
At best, this reel was purchased, used, returned damaged, then res-sold as new after not being inspected by the receiver.
Amazon, being their usual stellar selves, promptly issued a return label and replaced the item with free Next Day shipping.
I ordered this reel as a replacement for another reel I wore out after 15 years (not an Abu) and will make my third Abu reel. I fully expect that when the replacement arrives, it will live up to the Abu name. Since this is a different and newer model than my other Aubu, I will post an update on the reel performance after using it a few times.
