| Pike Master- could you give us a little reel 101 and explain the best application for this reel both 7:1 and 6:1? I always enjoy when you share your knowledge. Also could you explain the "inshore" tag....and how a revo inshore would be different than a toro? Thanks! |

The 6.:1 and the 7.1:1 in this size of reel is good for Fast Line Lickup from Topwater baits or Small Jerk baits. Small Bucktails like mepps and small spinner baits will work with the 6 and 7 gears in this reel also.

| this reel retails for 199.99 and it will be available in 4;9:1 5:3:1 , 6:3:1 and 7:1:1 before the end of the summer . the crazy crank gears in this reel will make the toro look like the steaming pile that it is . this reel is the real deal people and when all the speeds hit the american market the price alone will cut into to plastic abu junk big time . |

Josh: Daiwa has not had to good of track record on reels under $200.00 so I would wait and see ?????
If the Lexa does not have a backup Anti-Reverse Pawl then this reel will be just like a Luna. |

Yes they are but you have to keep your thumb on the spool when ripping and on hook sets or you blow out the A/R Bearing. |

I wouldnt touch a Daiwa product under $350+. Theyre track record is absolute garbage. I'll stick to my tried and true Abu's. |

| I love my Diawa Lunas. 5 years of use and smooth as silk. I do take care of them, use them for the correct application and have them serviced occasionally. I also love my Calcutta's!
I really love to hear about the different manufactures designing new musky reels which will benefit all of us. The more competition the better the game! |

| There's a quite significant weight difference between the Lexa Inshore 7.1:1 (11.3oz) and the Lexa Baitcaster 7.1:1 (10.5oz)
Does anyone know why? |

The Inshore has a Power Handle and the Baitcaster has a 2 Paddle Handle.

The Power Handle has a counter weight and the a big rubber knob, that makes up the .08 of a oz I'm sure. Have to wait till ICAST to find out for sure. |

I hope they do, the reason why is when a reel co. makes a left hand reel they sell so few of them that they have to raise the prices of the right hand reels to cover the cost of retooling for the left hand reels.  |

| Those Japanese Revos look pretty cool. What's the line capacity supposed to be? They don't look very wide like the Toros, but you'd think they would be if there's a model with a power handle.
I hope Abu doesn't change the bass Revos too much. They've treated me pretty well over the years with only one small glitch earlier this year. I'd like to see some lighter and/or cheaper models in the future, but I like the current ones so much I'm almost afraid what the new ones will be like. |

I'm sure they are 60 size reel and they have 7.1:1 nice line pickup for topwater or jerks. Go to Tackle Warehouse to see the new Revo. Icast is July 11 and we will know for sure then.
The bass reels look nice. They don't seem drastically different than the other models. They are all significantly lighter, though. I hope they didn't cheapen them up. I thought they might have just made them smaller like the MGX, but the gear ratios seem to be the same. The STX has an 8.0:1 gear ratio option. Can't wait to hear the line pick up for that. I guess we'll know in a few weeks. |

I like the new Handles on the 50 - 60 reels, $299.99 not to bad, color is cool. I wish they had them in 4.6:1 and 5.41, but you can convert them over to that very easy. I was hoping for a little more improvments ????
So is this the new inshore toro that you said would be introduced at Icast? Is the saltwater finish the only improvement? |

| once again, no lefty model....wtf are all companies just going to drop lefty models in these new '12 reels? I know the calcutta is going to be made in a lefty model but I love the low pro reels also and was looking forward to a new toro. |
