Shimano is a respected brand and builds quality equipment, but this particular thread is not about them. Be patient, there will be Shimano threads placed soon enough! |

| And then the Okuma guys will join in!!!
I love my Toro S 60. I have it dialed in and have had 1 backlash and no problems with the reel engaging with the unbalanced power handle. Anyone I've shared a boat with would be proud of that... If the new model fits my needs, there may be a couple old Toros on the buy/sell forum. |

| I'm with JakeSt. Croix. Since there already is a black Beast, and a white Toro s, how about going retro on making it original Ambassaduer red. That would be cool. kdawg |

Arrived today, and this nails it on the color. Very cool looking reel. Three handles, and a great feel to her. I'll run it tonight for League and report back tomorrow.
Great addition to the Revo Toro line.
The surprise for later is very cool too. |

| Revo rocket red. Any insight on line pick up speeds? Maybe geared like that jigging reel overseas? |

| A toro, with a higher gear ratio at what 42 IPT? Sure to make somebody happy.
Guess 1:7.5 if its a 60 size and 1:8.5 if its the 50 size.
Love the double power handle. |

Location: mercer wi | So I'm assuming it's a beast type reel. What gears? |

| The picture says 107cm per turn, so it would be 42". Which makes it a 1:7.5 if its a 60 size in the picture and 1:8.5 if its the 50 size in the picture. |

How do you know the full spool dimensions? |

| As mentioned, it depends on the size shown in the picture, an until mr. Sworrall gives some facts, its just a guess like anything else so far in this topic.
If the 50 beast in 1:4.9 brings in 24" and this brings in 42" then the new reel is (42/24=)1,75 times faster, which would need a gear ratio of 1,75*4,9 = 8,5.

| Got it. Just wondered if all 50-sized Beasts, S's, NaCl's, etc. all have the exact same full (or 80% full or whatever is used for IPT calc) spool diameter, and likewise all 60-sized Revo Toro reels. Seems like they're pretty close, and your gear ratio estimates fall right in line I think. |

Lefty?
This is purely speculation, but I would assume yes. Abu is good about having lefty options |

| Most abu s on the us market also end up being sold in europe so a lefty is almost guarantied every time abu releses a new reel |
