Well I'd say you need to learn more about the reel, which you can't do until after ICAST.
Are they staying in the $ 280 price point Steve? |

| So they are coming out with something ergonomic to go after the Tranx or Lexa 400? I'd love a Lexa 400 with Shimano/Abu quality. I'd pay for it too.... |

From the pictures and video link it appears as though there is no thumb bar, is this incorrect? |

From the video, no there is not.
If you want a thumb bar, and this reel does not have one, then this is not the reel you are looking for... |

There will be a new kick fanny reel in that price range, yes. No need to dream. I am fishing one now. |

Location: Tennessee | So for the new Toro Beast or whatever it's called, is it truly legit competition to the Tranx in ability? Or will Tranx keep its throne? |

| Well yes it was and you can still see the link in KSauers quote post just below his removed link(but now it doesn't work).
And the link he sent to you is the same as esoxone posted earlier. |

Thanks for the link! I wish I knew the exact price. It's tempting to wait before getting another Tranx just to see |

| Nice to get a bit of information, but don't look like it's going to replace my Tranx´s |

This is the best look yet at this reel. A monster looking gearbox. looks like it could be the new double 10 reel. One thing I noticed is the rear end is not as pointy as the Revo toro,one of my main complaints. It wasn't as comfortable to me as round reels. Not as big and bulky as the tranx,but hopefully just as powerful.
I wonder if the gears are bigger and stronger than the TE's. Pikemaster? |

Location: MN | Interesting when talking about the second reel, the Ambassador Beast, he comes right out and says it is based on the previous Rocket reel |

Interesting. Coming out with 50 and 60 sizes. Maybe not much bigger than the regular Revo Toro, but the gear box looks bigger. Sounds/looks like the spool will be bigger diameter and narrower - similar to the Tranx.
I would say it isn't going to be a Tranx, but maybe competing in the same market for less money. Maybe just as durable? I like the balanced handle.
I might have to try to wait for one of these to come out.

| Looks like they updated the NaCl with revo beast features. Infinity brake system which works perfect on my revo beast and the lower sitting gear box. Glad they come out with a 50 size also because I dont need a 60 size for pike fishing. |

Location: Lincoln, NE | I'm glad they came out with a balanced power handle as well. The difference for me whether I end up with a Tranx or Beast might just come down to the lower profile of it. The Tranx is more comfortable than a round reel but still not as comfortable as the low profiles for me. If it lands between my NACL and a Tranx but is more comfortable, and $100 less than a Tranx that may be the selling point for me. |
