I had a good year at the banquets.  I have a 400b and a Winch, which would you keep for night fishing? And why?

I would go with the winch. Night fishing is all about slowing down and throwing big baits to me, which I feel the winch excels at.

Both will work well for night fishing as they have pretty similar gear ratios. I like the Revo series of reels just for the low profile aspect, but the 400b reels are built like tanks so you won't have problems with them either.

I would stick with the 400B as there as already said a TANK I buy tings to last and that would be my choice??

I have serviced over 500 Toro reels and I have not seen one gear set wear out.
Both are fine reels one is low profile and the other a round reel.

Thanks PIKEMASTER.

That is why "I heard" rumor and innuendo is not acceptable here.

Expect to mainly fish topwaters and big blades slow. Mainly use 400d during day.

Topwaters slow + big blades slow = winch for sure. Revo toros are so comfortable in my hand. I fished a couple years with a 400B, now my general purpose reel is a Toro 60HS. I like the toro a lot more.
