| Get the TE and get a heavier rod than MH...if you plan on throwing big blades at all get a H or XH. |

| Definitely seems like a lot of reel for not a lot of rod. The winch is a little more user friendly with the low profile and lighter weight. Otherwise, they're both great reels. TE is probably a little more versitile with the higher speed, but it's not enough to make a huge difference. Maybe look on Ebay for a 5.3:1 revo toro. That reel will go well with the MH rod and the heavier rod you'll eventually buy to replace it. |
