not enough torque for baits with huge resistance with those smaller spools. Especially the higher gear ratios.

thats a 400..... the 400 has equal cranking power for double cowgirls as the 500?

they do not

Got this little guy on buchertail magnum (double 10s) no problem. Only boated the one fish but bringing in the big blades all day was a breeze. Great reel ?

The beast comes with a non counterweighted jigging handle that has 3 slots. You think on the “longest” handle slot it would make a difference in terms of cranking power compared to the counterweighted handle?

sigh...if only the tranx came in left

but would 27ipt be enough to burn the smaller 8s 7s 6s?

This is more geared towards any musky guys out there but anyone welcome to put in their input. I am looking at 2 different reels for my 9ft hf st croix big nasty. The toro beast in a 61HS 6.2:1 or the 61 4.9:1 . Im mainly throwing inlines blades ranging from 7s to double 10s and the occasional jakes n belivers rubbers and double dawgs. But mainly inlines. What gear ratio would best suit throwing spinners from big 10s to 7s? Will i be able to burn the 7s with the 4.9:1 or will i have too much stuggle rolling 10s on the 6.2:1 ? 61HS 6.2:1 34ipt 61 4.9:1 27ipt

why would i have problems with the reel because its high speed ? i was thinking just to use it for when i get tired from throwing the bigger baits on heavier muskie tackle.

Would a 7'6" HF abu villain and revo rocket reel (not toro rocket) be ideal for throwing smaller muskie lures, swimbaits, mepps or jigs?

What about tying to a hook or snap with the 60# fc ? What knot?

sweet , thanks boys !

wasnt tying the fg properly before but i figured it out, btw do u use 80# for pike or muskies? How u think 60# would hold up? First time using fluro for a tooth leader

ya couldnt find anything close to 60lb fluro though. Tried those knots but the 60#seemed too thick to slip the knot complete. Usually on a uni to uni i use 8 wraps around the fluro and then 5 wraps around the braid. What if i tried going 6 and 3 or 4 and 2 ?

Anyone know a good knot for 50lb braid to 60lb fluro ?
