Posts: 432 Location: Eagan, MN | I agree w/ Justin, they don't really need to be better. I think the slight cost increase is due to the saltwater resistant coating? The selling points for me are the availability of 5.4 gears and improved and longer power handle. | ||

Posts: 32888 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 'I would hope something was upgraded to support an increase in price. Maybe it's because these new ones are saltwater reels?' Did you see the handles? And yes, they are salties, and therefore a bit more money. | ||

Posts: 432 Location: Eagan, MN | Pikemaster, how do you rate the 'heavy-dutiness' of the original revo toro against, say, a 400te? | ||

Posts: 267 Location: Right behind you (tap, tap) BOOO | RHMS = Rollie and Helens Musky Shop Nice reels, I have a Toro 60 Winch with an extra set of 5.4 gears, looks like I'll be getting the 5.4 gears in the new one so no more swapping. | ||

Posts: 432 Location: Eagan, MN | What plastic parts on the toro do you consider the most critical? I can see several non-loadbearing plastic parts, but is there anything in the actual drivetrain that you think should be metal? Also, shimano went with a lot of the same plastic on the calcutta d. Do you feel that's a step back? | ||
