| Anyone know of an extended power handle that would work with the Toro S? I like the reel but would like to throw on a longer handle (I'm switching from a lexa) |

| As far as i know, the new toro beast and toro S use their own handle, so no you can't use one from a lexa.

Obviously. I was asking if anyone knew of a handle that worked. |

| If it wasnt clear, the power "jigging" handle from a toro beast would work. |

The longest handle from the Toro Beast works with perfect compatibility. No other aftermarket handles as yet to my knowledge. |

| The beast jigging handle will turn that S into a cranking machine! |

| Looks like the 50 size has the paddle handle and the 60 comes with the balanced power handle. Which reel did you get? Ive tested all 3 handles on the Beast. The balanced power handle makes cranking much easier then the paddle. The Jigging handle makes cranking much easier then the balanced handle. I did not have any engagement issues so far with the Jigging handle. |

| I thought the power handle on the S 61 series was absolutely PERFECT.... Not to small, and Not to big the Perfect Size... I found the Jigging handle from the Beast which I tried on the S model to be Too Long for my liking.....But I'm sure it's perfect for what it was designed for Ocean Jigging .... For me I think the power jigging handle was just too long making it almost awkward to reel in at a nice fast retrieve ..... But that's just My Opinion I'm sure some of you mountain men will love it..... lol Both are just fantastic reels....and will fill that Nitch that us Left hand Guys Needed for several years.. JUST IMAGINE a Solid Made Good Quality Left Handed Reel that can be used for a Big Bucktail reel at a fraction of the weight and price of a Tranx..OMG and it's Not only made for Right handed Fishermen Thanks Abu |

Location: Hayward, WI | How many length settings are available on that jigging handle? Looks like there are 3 square/rectangle cutouts on the handle. Can each of the 3 be used, or are there only the two different length settings on the non balanced jigging handle? |

| 3 settings and I tried the middle one. Felt if I used the short setting I might as well leave the balanced handle on and the long setting would be awkward and increase the chance of engaging the reel. |

| If bass pro would get me my S I'd let you know what I think. Ridiculous it taking this long for something "in stock" without paying for overnight shipping. Should have ordered from a smaller muskie shop. |

| As for the beast you really can't go wrong with either ratio. Just depends how you fish and what you normally throw. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Just got our 60 S and 60 Beast HS. One matched up on a Beast rod, the other a Veritas. Nice rigs, and they will be getting a workout over the next 8 weeks. The Toro S came with the balanced power handle.
It was not easy to just let people talk $%^& before the reels started to ship.
Abu did a nice job on these reels, and a very nice job on the rods. They got the actions right, and I'm a split grip guy and really like the handles. |

| Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but will those handles fit a Revo Toro 60? Do they all have the same spindle? I'd really like to put a balanced power handle on my old Revo Toro's.
I know the NACL power handle works on the Revo Toro if and only if you use the mounting hole for the longer setting. |

| I don't think they'll fit. Apparently Abu switched how the handles attach to the reel. The middle slot on the jigging reel feels much better (to me) compared to the stock one on the S. |

No, the hole for the handles is different. The older handles are for a rectangular shaft. The main crank shafts on the Revo Toro Beast/S are square. |
