Location: illinois | Ended up buying a St.Croix top-n-tail for top raiders and smaller bucktails. Looking at getting a new reel for it. Torn between a 400te and a toro 60hs. Which one do you think would be better? |

But since this guy wants a 400 te or Toro 60 HS he is clearly left-handed, therefore requiring the 300EJ 
But to answer your question, if you can spring for the TE, I'd pick that over the Toro. |

Location: illinois | I have a budget for the TE, but wasn't sure if a faster ratio reel would be better for top raiders and Mepps Musky Magnums. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | TE would be too slow for TRs for me. As long as he's not pulling DC10s I would opt for the Revo HS or Currado. |

Location: Elgin IL | The TE is a power reel that is not that fast. The Curado 300E is a perfect reel for that
Rod...Will pick up line fast and will work great with surface baits,Twitch baits,small bucktails and small spring lures. |

| Can't tell you anything about the TE but i'd say go for the Curado, super reel for small lures. |

| another vote for the curado 300...it can handle a wide variety of baits very well...i sold the lunas that i used for years (which i never had any problems with) and it was a good move for me since i like the small low profile much much better... |

Location: illinois | Ended up getting a TE from bass pro cause it was $50 off with trade in reel. I might go back and pick up the curado for the top and tail and sell one of my 400b back ups. |
