In search of new Abu Baitcaster

[SPTOGFLUKEJIGR]

Hi Lep,
Seeking your opinion for a new Abu baitcaster for fluke. Planning to use 10 or 15lb braid mostly shallow water fishing.
Probably using on a M or ML slow pitch rod, looking to go as light as possible

Been looking at the Revo X. Any Suggestoins?
Thanks!

Does the Revo X still come in a "Winch" model, with around a 5:1 retrieve ratio? If so, that's the one to look at. If not, I highly recommend the Tatula 150P as an excellent choice. I bought one a few seasons ago, and liked it so much I bought a second for another of my setups. Ironically, it replaced a Revo Winch Gen3 - which was the "turkey" of the Revo series. Gen3 had the aluminum main gear and balky free-spool thumbar - both of which I hated. The Gen4 and now the Gen5 addressed both of those issues, with a brass main gear and completely redesigned thumbar assembly. I still think the Tat 150P is the better reel though, so there's that. . .

And why an M or ML SPJ rod for shallow water? I would go L or even XL all day long.
