Abu Garcia Revo Toro Nacl 60, or ? new tog reel
Anybody own or fish a AG Revo Toro? Looking for a new lefty for togging. This light weight graphite reel puts out 22 lbs of drag! I have been having bearing problems with a brand of lever drag I have been using. My fault since I exceed the max drag by fishing an almost locked up drag. Mr. Tog ain't getting back to his home! I am very much concerned with the castability of the reel. I do a lot of casting around the structure and get more bites. Am probably going to pair this up with a medium 7 ft Seeker Hercules or maybe an e-glass...don't know yet. My favorite e-glass and larger lever drag outfit gets heavy after a couple of hours. I spool with 50 or 65 lb braid uni knotted to 60 hollow core ace for a 50 lb mono spiced top shot. The Revo Toro has a small opening on the level wind guide. I am concerned with the top shot shooting smoothly off the reel. I serve my connections with glued uni's of 20 lb braid or with 1/2 hitches so the diameter is small. The mono laying over the spool also may cause a problem with its line memory by being bent. I am also considering an Accurate boss 400 which is heavier and back to a lever drag with a 4:1 retrieve - a little slow but has cast control. The Revo Toro is a 5.4:1 which I love. Never had such a difficult decision on this one and would appreciate the help! Please! Thanks! Fishfish
