Location: Lake St Clair		Whats the difference between these two beside the gear ratio? $70 for a lower gear seems excessive.

I want the 5.4.1 because i feel the 4.6 is too slow.

Just want to make sure i buy a heavy duty reel

the toro has greater line capacity, line-out alarm, etc.

I was told the 60 winch would be best......less problems casting with the heavier line and it will cast further easier.

However, I like the high speed and just ordered the Revo Toro 60-HS.
sending a pm on where I ordered mine from.

Location: Canada		By mostly bucktails do you mean double 10's? If so then the 4.6:1 gear ratio is what most use. I use my 4.6:1 Toro Winch for casting double tens and sometimes cranks smaller than 8". This reel won't "burn" double 10 bucktails.

Location: Aurora		Call Abu and give them the foot number off of your reel and tell them you want a 5.4 gear set (main & pinion). Bout $50 all said & done and replacement is pretty straight forward.

Thank you! I had the 4.6 out yesterday and running a heavy spoon, I couldn't keep it off the bottom...kept dredging in weeds. I've not had that issue with faster reels, so I assume that's the problem.
