Avid Revolve 8000FS Reel - Carp Coarse Fishing

The reel is specifically designed for carp and coarse fishing, offering features beneficial for long-range casting and fighting larger fish.

The rear freespool drag is typically adjusted using a small knob located on the opposite side of the handle. Turn it clockwise to increase tension and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

While the reel is durable, it is primarily designed for freshwater coarse and carp fishing. If used in saltwater, thorough rinsing with fresh water immediately after use is essential to prevent corrosion.

The gear ratio is 4.6:1. This means the spool rotates 4.6 times for every one full rotation of the handle. A lower gear ratio like this provides more torque, which is beneficial for retrieving heavy rigs or controlling powerful fish.

The spool capacity is approximately 0.40mm/230m, 0.35mm/300m, and 0.30mm/410m.

No, spare standard spools and deep spools are available separately.

The reel weighs 635g.

Ensure the reel is clean and free from grit or debris. Apply a small amount of reel lubricant to moving parts. If noise persists, professional servicing may be required.

Check that the line is spooled correctly and evenly. Ensure the anti-twist roller is functioning. Reduce the amount of line on the spool if it is overfilled.

Clean the drag washers if accessible. Ensure they are correctly seated and lubricated with appropriate drag grease. For severe issues, professional attention is recommended.

Check that the handle is fully screwed into the reel body. Tighten if necessary. Ensure the locking nut on the opposite side is secure.
