What up guys. 

 

I'm looking to buy the new Revo Toro S, or splurge and buy a Revo Toro Beast. I know that Abu makes good stuff from experience and since I have a NaCl I use regularly. The Toro S only has 4+1 bearings and the Beast has 7+1 (NaCl has 6+1). Is the Toro S not gonna be that smooth? I've never used a reel with less than 10 (I'm a Lew's addict).

 

The Lew's are a bit smoother than my NaCl, but with only 4+1 am I going to be getting a decent reel? 

 

I thought I understood the concept of the bearings, perhaps not. 

why not just get a Lew's BB2 pro ?? that's what i'm going to replace my Toro 51 with , going to have Lew's put in a 5.1:1 gear set

Abu's have pretty good bearings. The amount of bearings doesn't mean squat.

Quality bearings is a few key spots are much more important than the count. Tolerances, gears, frame, etc all affect smoothness.

the Revo Toro is super smooth and a tank of a reel , like Jon g said , as far as this reel , don't worry about bearing count ...
