Location: APPLETON, WI | My apologies if this has been discussed recently. I did a search and didn't come up with anything this specific. I usually take a break from the forums in the dead of winter... I'm pretty much a die hard Abu Garcia Revo Toro fan... I've got all three models (5.4, 4.6 and 6.4:1). Now that the 5.4:1 is gone aside from the occasional stray eBay auction, what's the latest and greatest replacement? What was the buzz and/or consensus according to iCast this year?
If possible, I'd like to get one more musky rod/reel combo sometime this season and the one that's lacking in my arsenal is a rod/reel combo for big rubber/plastics. I believe for big rubber/plastics, I want something in the mid-gear ratio range, don't I? The current 5.4:1 Revo I've got is on my Mag Heavy TI rod that I use for topwater, spinnerbaits, general use, etc, etc. I want to get the Mega Heavy TI rod for big rubber and hence, the need for another mid-gear ratio reel. Thoughts? Steve? Pikemaster? Anyone? |

Location: Buffalo Grove, IL | I've got a new, never used 5.4:1 Toro 50 that I could sell if you want it. I assume you are using the 60, but I figured I would throw it out there if you were interested. If so, shoot me a PM. |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | why not convert the gearing of a hs to the 5.4 with a set of gears from Abu? |

YES for about $50.00 plus you can make a 4.6 or 6.4 into a 5.4:1 |

I don't think I was gonna find a better deal than that. Already got my tracking number and it's on the way. I really didn't want to spend $200.00 on another reel... but I love my Revos too much not to have something I'm already familiar and comfortable with. |
