Your review of this reel is by far the best I've seen i wanted to buy this reel but I was wondering about the centrifugal brakes and adjusting them you answered my question in the comments thanks a lot, I think I'll buy it now !
@@LakeProTackle man your opinion matters because the sound it makes make the reel feel cheaper than it is! thought i had a defective reel and tried isolating the sound and realized it was the brakes. Thank you so much! I just received the reel.
@@LakeProTackle thats just crazy. Glad it isn’t an issue but it definitely is an annoyance. First time i had a reel sound like this lol my first Abu Garcia too! Love me some Daiwa but gotta try other brands too!
Abu garcia has had a standard across their reels of a 8mmx5mm shaft size and 95mm handle length this is a 100mm handle length as from what if gathered and is the same center hole shaft size.

I like my 2023 sx. Helped me land a chunky chinook a few weeks ago
Sweet! Where do you catch chinook?
I just got one the other day and i have never had a pin breaking system on a bait casting reel before and i was confused on how to lock the pins
Figure it out?
hello..adjustment of the internal brakes??is it possible??6 pins...on... off????
your asking the only question i want to know and i cant find an ansewr did you figure it out i dont think we can
There is no adjustment on the internal breaks on the Gen 5
is it normal to have a rattling sound when shaking the reel? thanks!
Yes it is the braking system working inside the reel. It is something I have talked with Abu Garcia about already but who cares about my opinion🤷🏻♂

What is the shaft size for the reel handle?
I believe it is a 7x4mm shaft

Does this model have a drag clicker??
It does not but the drag is pretty smooth
How to set the centrifugal?
There is no longer an adjustment on the centrifugal brakes
where is the shop?
We are located in Gainesville, TX
Pretty sure the spool is 200 size.
The Abu Garcia website says for mono/fluoro 160yd/10 130yd/12 90yd/17.
It's a 100 or 150 size not big enough for a 200 size.
Hopefully better side plate release button location. Annoying I always accidentally opened mine while fishing on my Gen4 STX reels..
They have moved the side plate release button to the front of the reel to minimize that!
I'll never go back to Abu Garcia after I lost three side plates that flew off in the lake. Shimono is a much better reel manufacturer.
