OK, I stand corrected, you will want 4.
And the rods? NAILED it.... |

Location: Lake County Illinois | The Revo Toro Beast I got to see at the show was really nice and didn't seem much larger than a 60 and had a high speed gear ratio. |

The available reel is a bass size reel, the anticipated reel is of musky size.
Love to get my hands on one. |

Location: Waukee, IA | The new Ambassadeur Beast has a 5.1:1 gear ratio according to the FB video. Also has an adjustment knob on the palming face, ugh. Looks sweet though |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Don't believe everything you hear or see on the new reels. There's no 'adjustment knob' sticking out on the palming face of any of them.

| Sworrall the ambasaduer beast have a tension knob on the side. Its easy to see in the video from the link in the top post.
Its because people are talking about 3 different reels.
Revo Beast, (small bass reel been out for a while)
Ambassadeur Beast (classic round ambassadeur reel like the rocket reels)
And then the revo TORO Beast.
Which is properly the most exiting thing, and the one we all would like to know more about. |

What he said... Curious if this is basically a C3 with a new handle and graphics or is this a higher quality round reel like the Morrums. Based on the name, Zinox is probably correct in that it is similar to a Rocket.

Location: Waukee, IA | I kinda get what Steve is saying, the reel shown could be a decoy with cool graphics and the new handle. But if the Ambassadeur Beast does have that knob you can bet I won't be the only one who notices.
I'm way more excited about the Revo Toro Beast anyway. Has the potential to be a PERFECT muskie reel if the rumors are correct.
Edit: Thanks for the pic, Martin. That's my concern about the Ambassadeur Beast. But honestly I didn't even know about this reel until Tuesday. The Toro Beast looks killer in all black. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The reel shown is not a Revo model. I had one of the new round reels in my hands yesterday, and will own one because of cool factor.
It's not similar to a Rocket other than outward appearances. |

| I didn't try to compare it with a rocket other than the fact that it is a round reel. |

Location: Iowa | Why didn't they make this reel have a thumb bar release like the Record 60 instead of that push button...I have lost fish in the 8 because my drag froze and I could hit the push button, my dad lost a monster one day for that same reason in the 8, just my 2 cents worth. |
