after posting for advice on a couple of reels , something got thrown in the mix
which got me wondering

i would like to get a reel for casting crank baits , large bucks/spinners and pounders
i'm looking at the revo winch 60 and the shimano CT400B
am i dreaming , can either of these reels last and be able to use

Revo having a lower gear ratio, both weigh the same ..
any advice pro's /cons

thanks bob

Bob,if you can, buy them both !!!

Abu Garcia Revo Toro Winch 60 (better than revo winch 60) for large bucks,cow girls,crank and spinners.
Shimano CT400B(TE400 or TD Luna 300/300L) for pounders and jerks.

They will both last quite long if you maintain them and use them like they were intended to be used. If you engage them in mid cast, don't clean them, and in general treat them like a hammer neither one will last very long.

Bob, I told you to get the Revo Toro Winch 50!!! You saw me throw with it ALL of last year and I loved it with NO problems. You don't need the 60. It's just a wider spool than the 50 and I never came close to spooling out.
Use the Winch for twin 10's, spinnerbaits, or any other lure that has alot if resistance coming through the water then your wannabe teenage body will be able to keep up with mee this year!!!!

PS I get my rod tomorrow.

Calcutta all the way. 2 out my 3 revo's lasted less than 40 hours on the water. If you can afford a te they are well worth the money but I use 400b as a te back up.
