Location: Ottawa, Ont | hey guys just wondering how do you know if your break system is set up properly, say in a revo toro 60, I use this reel for glide baits cranks/jerks and some times even smaller bladed buck tails but im not sure if I have adjusted the internal break system properly, do I pop two break teeth out or more? please let me know

Location: Esbjerg - Denmark | I use 4 popped out on my Toro 51 HS, and that works fine for me on all jerk/glidebaits between 1-5 oz.
The newer model Toros has a new type of brakingsystem, where 3 of the brakes are springloaded, and then automaticly pops back, when the force/speed reduces - On this type i use all 6 for casting magnums and big bucks, cause the slow down quite alot due to the air-resistance off these baits.
I tried using only 2 but kept getting overruns, but whit 4 its no problem. Hope it helps... |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | Set the cast control knob so a 1-3oz bait will drop fast when you push the spool release button and then leave it that way. On the newer Toro reels that have the 3 pitch and 3 non-pitch spool brakes, put all 3 pitch brakes on by pushing out on the brake, try casting if you over run then push out one of the non-pitch ones and try that that if you still over run put one or all 3 on and that will work and use your thumb. Also make sure the brake ring is clean then rub a little grease on the brake ring and that will smooth the drag system out and keep it from making noise on a cast. |
