Product Information

Full details

The Avid Revolve 12000FS Reel is designed for modern carp anglers seeking reliable performance without a high price tag. Its key benefit is the combination of durable construction and smooth line management for improved casting and retrieval. A potential consideration is its 663g weight, which may be a factor for those preferring lighter setups. This reel features a robust graphite body, slow oscillation for excellent line lay, dual drag systems (rapid front and rear freespool), and twin line clips.

FAQs

What is the gear ratio of the Revolve 12000FS reel?

The gear ratio is 4.6:1, providing a balance between power for retrieving line and speed.

How many ball bearings does this reel have?

The reel is equipped with 5 + 1 stainless steel ball bearings for smooth operation.

Can I purchase spare spools for this reel?

Yes, spare standard and deep spools are available separately from authorized dealers.

What is the weight of the Revolve 12000FS reel?

The reel weighs 663g.

What line capacity can this reel hold?

The spool capacity is approximately 0.40mm/310m, 0.35mm/400m, and 0.30mm/550m.

Does this reel have both front and rear drag systems?

Yes, it features a rapid front drag system and a controlled rear freespool drag system.

Is the handle ambidextrous?

The reel comes with a black anodised aluminium handle, typically designed for a specific side, but can often be switched for ambidextrous use depending on the reel's specific design details. Please check the physical reel or manual for confirmation.

Troubleshooting

Reel handle is stiff or difficult to turn

Rinse the reel with fresh water to remove dirt or salt. Check for any debris lodged in the handle mechanism. If the problem persists, the reel may require lubrication or professional servicing.

Line lay is uneven or messy

Ensure the line is correctly spooled onto the reel. The slow oscillation system should provide good line lay, but an improperly filled spool or incorrect line tension can cause issues. Check the line roller for damage or debris.

Drag system is not smooth or is inconsistent

Ensure the drag washers are clean and free from grit. Avoid over-tightening the drag. If the drag remains inconsistent, it may require maintenance or replacement of drag components.

Line slips off the spool unexpectedly

Verify that the instant anti-reverse mechanism is engaged correctly. Check that the spool is properly seated on the reel and that the drag is not set too loosely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the reel securely to your fishing rod by placing it in the reel seat and tightening the locking rings.
  2. Thread your main fishing line through the rod guides and onto the reel spool. Use the slow oscillation system to ensure an even fill. Ensure the line is securely attached to the spool.
  3. Set the twin line clips to your desired casting distances. Adjust the drag systems to your preference before fishing.

Compatibility:

The Avid Revolve 12000FS is designed to be compatible with most standard carp fishing rods featuring appropriate reel seats for a 12000 size reel.

Care:

  • Rinsing: After each use, especially in saltwater or muddy conditions, rinse the reel with fresh, clean water. Avoid high-pressure water jets.
  • Cleaning: Periodically, wipe down the reel body, handle, and spool with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, consult the manufacturer's recommendations or a professional.
  • Lubrication: The reel's internal components and line roller may benefit from occasional lubrication with a specialized reel oil or grease. Refer to manufacturer guidelines for specific points and product recommendations.
  • Storage: Store the reel in a cool, dry place, ideally in a reel pouch or its original box, to protect it from dust and damage when not in use.
