| The 5.4 is a good happy medium reel between the Toro Winch and a HS gear like a 6.4. The 6.4 is good for line pick up on rubber, but is geared a little high for big blades. I think if you are buying one reel to use for both, I would go with the 5.4.

Location: Waukee, IA | I bought one of each to cover my bases, but I habitually make poor financial decisions. The 5.4 is my go-to for blades over size 8. |

Location: Minnesota | Not the same reel but I like high speed tranx for rubber pg for blades. I would say that would be for all reel's . When ripping and jerking rubber I like a reel that picks up line fast. When tossing big blades I want a reel with power so it's easy to bring in those big blades with out getting worn out.

Location: Hayward, WI | I vote 5.4. I think they do 26" per crank, which isn't terribly slow, and the power handle gives enough leverage that reeling pretty fast is possible if you want.
I have been really impressed with the 5.4 NACL 60 I bought last year. Planning to buy another this year. |

Location: sneaking out to get on the water ;-) | Yep I agree with the others. I have both NaCl and the 5.4 with power handle is awesome for big blades but i prefer the hs for rubber and jerk/glide baits. If getting just one go with the 5.4 so you have plenty of power for the big blades. |

| Agreed 60 5.4 is the best for big blades. Actually its a great do everything reel. When I really want to burn though I go to the 6.4. Its more effort and prob not good for the reel but I have not had any problems. |

| I already have a Saltist 30 for the big blades. I need advice on which gear ratio for the NaCL. I like to throw small grammas, topwater and burn #8 bucktails. Will the 5.4 be fast enough for burning or will high speed wear out throwing #8's. This would be my main all purpose reel. |
