Hi all,

So I've been out of the game for about 10 years while my kids were playing sports all summer. Heading out musky fishing in a few weeks and trying to get my ducks in a row. I have the two below reels and rods and trying to get a feel for which to pair up and best uses for each combo. Thanks in advance!!!

Reels - Revo Toro Winch (2009) 4.6:1 ratio
- Revo Toro 60 (2009) 5.4:1

Rods - St Croix Legend Tourney "Top N Tail"
- St Croix Legend Tourney Custom Built 8' "Sling Blade"

Put your low gear real on the stiffer rod for heaviest and hardest pulling baits. Use the other set up for smaller, easier pulling baits.

U need to let the Ms.'s allow you to buy a faster reel and a rod to match. The forum said so!. Good luck out there man.
