Was watching flats class a couple weeks ago and they were showcasing the new pluton. It looks awesome. They were fishing for snook and tarpon and the guy HORSED! a 60 pound tarpon to the boat with this reel and a small baitcasting rod.it was crazy ive never seen a reel with so much power. If you go to tackle tour.com you can see the review in the reel section. Looks to be a good muskie reel to me. check it out.

I don't know much about equipment or muskie but I believe the only downfall of the pluton is its line capacity and maybe price. I looked at them but really can't justify the price.

After looking again yes the Pluton doesn't have the capacity of a 6600 but it has as much as a toro or curado.
