I have a big trip coming up with my dad, I am looking to buy a new reel for him to bring in 10's easily. I saw a deal on the beast but which size and gear ratio would you buy to make it an easy retrieve for cowgirls?

Thanks!

I like the 60 size and the 4.9:1 gear ratio.

Agree, 4.9 with unbalanced power handle set in second to longest slot is butter.

I agree as well. Beast 4.9:1, I use the double power handle but if you want easier to reel then go to one of the power handles.

I have an revo toro winch, will this pull them in easier? I know the line pick-up is better on the beast.

X2 and the Diawas are cheaper; almost half price.
