Completely different reel, fits my hand better, and I have average size hands. Hellatious gearing. This, gents, is a REEL. We'll feature the rods next (up to 10'1") and then the Toro S, my favorite new machine for 2015.

How does the shape compare to the NaCL or previous Toro reels?
And size? Like to see em side by side.
^ +1 some close up video would be nice too and any specific info on exactly how it differs from the NaCl in parts/design. I am glad to hear the rep mention that there is a change to the thumb bar (more info like that would be appreciated).

How does the S feel vs the nacl? My hands are smaller so I passed on the 60.

Good pictures. Looks like they are a little narrower. Do they sit taller/higher too? 400 series round reels don't fit my wife's hands the best but she has no problem with the Revo Toro 60. Will the new Revos fit smaller hands as well as the older styles?
I might want a Beast, but I'm glad that the S sounds like it's still a nice reel, while also having a slightly lower price point than the NaCL.

For those of your that got lucky enough to try it or better yet own one, and also own the tranX. How does it compare to that reel?

Based on gear ratio and IPT they don't seem like they were trying to compare, it is a more durable higher tech revo toro and you could probably do well having these and a tranx.
