| I am looking for a reel that handle large double bladed bucktails with ease and comfort. I was thinking the Garcia Revo Toro Winch 60 Righthanded with 4:2:1 ratio. Has anyone used this for cowgirls? Can you your burn them with comfort?
Has recommendations would be appreciated.

You would not be able to burn them with a winch, but you will be able to use it all day for cranking DC10s. If you want something to burn 10s with get yourself a saltwater reel with big gears. I doubt if the majority of us could burn 10s all day even with a saltwater reel. |

| Rick, this question has been asked alot and some folks take exception to that. You can do a search but sometimes I have read for what seems hours and still have questions. I have been researching this topic quite a bit and from what I have learned for burning big buctails the Daiwa Saltis may be the ticket. The question I have about the Saltis is will it wear you out like burning bucktails with a 6500C3? |

| "all day" of burning 10s with a saltist will wear you out, but I definitely last longer using this reel. Burning is a relative term.
The thing I find almost more fatiguing than the cranking itself is the hand/wrist fatigue associated with holding either the foregrip or the reel, when cranking in 10s. I gotta learn to relax my grip. |

The Toro Winch with 4.6:1 gears is one of the best reels for reeling in DCG10-13, the reel only weighs a little over 10oz and is low profile so U can palm the reel all day and your hand will not be in pain at the end of the day.
As far as Burning a DCG 10-13 make sure the lakes U fish the muskies want DCG 10-13 Burned, and if they do how many times a year do they want them at warp speed, so ask a guide about what works in the lakes U fish.
I have a Shimano Trinidad 16NA for burning, and I use that setup maybe 20-30%
for the year, I know Okuma has 2 reels for buring, one $129.99 and the other $229.00 not sure about them but the price works.
Hope that helps.

Rick, this question has been asked alot and some folks take exception to that.
Why would anyone take exception?? I'll never understand this.
I got a great suggestion:
To anyone that gets annoyed with reel recommendation threads; don't read them. Don't even open them.
To the others that wish to contribute their recommendations - I'm sure the thread starter appreciates it.  |

Greg, I agree with you 100%. I was the one that you quoted, I didn't mean to imply that I took exception. |
