Avid Revolve 8000FD Reel - Big Pit Distance Casting Carp Reel

The slow oscillation worm-shaft system ensures that line is laid onto the spool in a very neat, even pattern. This leads to improved line management, reduced friction during casting, and ultimately, greater casting distances.

While the reel is durable, it is primarily designed for freshwater carp angling. For saltwater use, it is essential to rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each session and to maintain it diligently to prevent corrosion.

The gear ratio is 4.6:1. This ratio provides a good balance between retrieval power and speed, allowing you to retrieve rigs from long distances or effectively play larger fish without excessive cranking.

The Revolve 8000FD features a rapid front drag system. Turn the drag knob clockwise to tighten (increase drag) and counter-clockwise to loosen (decrease drag). The twin line-friendly clips can also be used to set casting distances quickly.

The standard spool has a capacity of 0.40mm/230m, 0.35mm/300m, and 0.30mm/410m, which is ample for most carp fishing situations requiring long casts.

No, spare standard and deep spools for the Revolve 8000FD are available for purchase separately.

The Avid Revolve 8000FD reel weighs approximately 550g.

Rinse the reel with fresh water to remove any grit or salt. Ensure the line is not tangled around the spool or rotor. If the problem persists, lubrication might be needed; consult the manufacturer's recommendations or a professional.

Check that the line is correctly threaded through the line roller and that the slow oscillation system is functioning properly. Ensure the spool is not overfilled or underfilled. Re-spooling the line correctly might resolve the issue.

Ensure the drag knob is clean and free of debris. Check that the drag washers are correctly seated. For persistent issues, the drag system may require servicing.

Ensure there are no obstructions on the bail arm or line roller. Check that the reel is securely attached to the rod and that no damage has occurred to the bail arm mechanism.
