OK, I don't have one of these but you are supposed to able to rotate the entire cover in a counter-clockwise direction after the keeper screw is loose.Well I loosen the one pin up all the way and the side cover is just stuck on there!

From the way it's described elswhere, you un-screw it.
If it stuck, you might want to take it in to a reel shop and let them show you or maybe the reel guy at Dick's would show you.

YouTube - Faulty ABU Revo STX 3
I wouldn't be surprised if ABU discontinues the Pro Max series. There seems to be a lot of overlap in their low-pro lineup and the Revo is gaining momemtum.I still really like the Pro Max but the Revo SX is a nice one too. Lots of choices, I just need to find a retailer that carries them so I can see them all and see which one I want.
I started with magnet reels and graduated to centrifugal reels. In the quest for range (distance), I actually took the magnet system out of my '80s Shimanos. You can't really turn off the magnet 100% even though it says 0% on the little dial.As for the Revo S and that adjustment thing I just don't know. Would have to find someone with one and try it out to see if I would like it or not.
You can do it, just that after about 15MPH you wonder why you're out there.Hmm, I use everything from 1/4 ounce lures up to 2 ounces for drifting so I think that qualifies as a wide range of weights. It really doesn't matter, I need a reel to transition from before I go to something I don't know. Right now it is magnets, a centrifuge could be in the works but no braking system is gonna be somewhere down the road. Throwing a 1/2 ounce spinner into a 20mph wind without one would be a nightmare I would suspect.
Maybe mike123 will report back on how many weights he found were engaged when he opened his up.
Thanks.They were all engaged...
I'll have to experiment to see which setting I prefer...
I rarely ever get backlashes regardless of settings. I usually just disengage my reel and loosen the nut until the weight falls REALLY fast. Thumb control is where it's at. I get more backlashes having the centrifugal and other spool brake tight. I like a fast freespool!
I see you're in Aberdeen, don't know what you have there......Bob's in Longview is 71 miles away.
And you're only 34 miles from the Quinault and 46 miles from the Queets
