Little Concerns While chromed side plates look awesome they have one disadvantage. They smudge especially when one’s hands are wet with saltwater, fish slime, grime, etc. most of which are unavoidable when one fishes. Still, looks blardy good and I will still go on buying chromed reels anyway. Oh, be careful with them if you use suntan lotion aka chrome killer. An issue that I faced with the Revo Beast that I was handed is automatic disengagement of the free spool / thumbar during the cast. It automatically disengaged intermittently but often. I took it back to Pure Fishing and was told that it is a sample reel and they had the same issue too, and handed me another unit of which is from their inventory. The second unit has been problem free till now. 47
