Ended up buying a St.Croix top-n-tail for top raiders and smaller bucktails. Looking at getting a new reel for it. Torn between a 400te and a toro 60hs. Which one do you think would be better?

I would get a Currado 300 EJ.

But since this guy wants a 400 te or Toro 60 HS he is clearly left-handed, therefore requiring the 300EJ

But to answer your question, if you can spring for the TE, I'd pick that over the Toro.

I have a budget for the TE, but wasn't sure if a faster ratio reel would be better for top raiders and Mepps Musky Magnums.

Go for the TE and throw on a power handle.

TE would be too slow for TRs for me. As long as he's not pulling DC10s I would opt for the Revo HS or Currado.

All of the reels mentioned are nice reels, but if you have budgeted for the TE.....then definitely go with that.

The TE is a power reel that is not that fast. The Curado 300E is a perfect reel for that
Rod...Will pick up line fast and will work great with surface baits,Twitch baits,small bucktails and small spring lures.

Can't tell you anything about the TE but i'd say go for the Curado, super reel for small lures.

another vote for the curado 300...it can handle a wide variety of baits very well...i sold the lunas that i used for years (which i never had any problems with) and it was a good move for me since i like the small low profile much much better...

Ended up getting a TE from bass pro cause it was $50 off with trade in reel. I might go back and pick up the curado for the top and tail and sell one of my 400b back ups.
