Avid Revolve 12000FD Reel - Big Pit Distance Casting Carp Reel

The slow oscillation worm shaft system ensures that the line is laid onto the spool in a perfectly even manner. This results in smoother casts and increased casting distance by reducing line friction as the line leaves the spool.

The rapid front drag system allows for very quick adjustments to the drag tension. By turning the drag knob a small amount, you can significantly change how much pressure is applied. The twin line-friendly clips help you set specific drag tensions for casting and fishing.

The standard spool capacity is 0.40mm/310m, 0.35mm/400m, and 0.30mm/550m. Spare spools are available in standard and deep versions with different capacities.

While the reel is built with durable materials, it is primarily designed for freshwater carp fishing. For saltwater use, thorough rinsing with fresh water after each session and regular maintenance are crucial to prevent corrosion.

The gear ratio is 4.6:1. This ratio is optimized for casting distance, providing strong torque to pull line off the spool efficiently for long casts. It means that for every full turn of the handle, the rotor turns 4.6 times. This is slower than reels designed for rapid retrieval.

The Avid Revolve 12000FD reel weighs 577g.

Yes, spare standard and deep spools for the Revolve 12000FD are available separately.

Rinse the reel with fresh water to remove salt or debris. Ensure the spool is correctly seated. If the problem persists, the reel may require lubrication or professional servicing.

Check that the slow oscillation system is functioning correctly. Ensure the line is tied securely to the spool. Rewind the line, ensuring consistent tension.

Ensure the drag is clean and free from debris. Check that the drag washers are properly aligned. Over time, drag washers can wear out and may need replacement.

Ensure the bail arm is fully opened. Check for any obstructions around the bail arm mechanism. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may need inspection or repair.
