Rovex endurance or abu gracia?
I will admit right away im a noob at fishing reels all i know how to do with them is spool and cast but choosing one or figuring out their many specs is just way over my head and maybe thats why i like my alveys, anyways back to topic
Rovex endurance or abu garcia black max, im looking at these since i want something small that i can take from my squid to whiting all the way to mangrove jacks if i decide and i want something that is light aswell so i can put it on my telescopic rod though most of the time it will live on my squid rod.
any advice is wonderful.

Re: Rovex endurance or abu gracia?
They both aren't really mid or top end reels. Wont be much different. But I think Abu Garcia max has more ball bearings?
The more the better (smoother).

Re: Rovex endurance or abu gracia?
yea wasnt looking for mid or top end stuff since i dont like spending silly amounts for it just want something that can handle me and what i put reels through and carrying a alvey in a small backpack is not a easy task. They both say they have a 3+1 ball bearing system (shouldnt they just say 4 then?).

Re: Rovex endurance or abu gracia?
Okay then. They both around $50 - $60 rrp. With luck, you may get a good reel at clearance price. For example, Tackleworld Cranbourne and Mornington is having a sale atm, Paul is celebrating 30th Tackleworld birthday or something like that.saph wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 11:13 pmyea wasnt looking for mid or top end stuff since i dont like spending silly amounts for it just want something that can handle me and what i put reels through and carrying a alvey in a small backpack is not a easy task.

Who knows you might get a better reel and will last a lot longer.
Otherwise, probably abu max than rovex. Rovex can be a bit 'plastic-y'.

Do yourself a favour and grab one of these. A bit heavier than the ones you’re looking at but you’re looking at some pretty plastic-y reels there and this one is 100% metal. Really nice carbon drag on them too.

Re: Rovex endurance or abu gracia?
Have you considered a shimano sienna maybe in a 2500 size.
It will be perfect for your application.
Value for money reel and can be easily replaced if needed.

Re: Rovex endurance or abu gracia?
Thanks guys ill let you know of the outcome
I actualy have a sienna and yea i aggree they are value for cash but i dont want to double up on reels that look the same since i just grab and go a fair bit and it would be to confusing for me to track 2 sienna reels hell its hard for me to keep track of what rod is what at times.
