colbypearson Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'm a shimano guy, but this sparked my interest since before it was even released- http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Abu_Garc ... -RVNA.html The Abu NACL, anyone have any use with this or insight? I sold my Calcutta B and need a new reel for my 867, this would look pretty tight. Can anyone shed any light? differences between sizes in terms of baits/line etc...?

SwimbaitsatLMV Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 The Toro is nice, the inshore is tight. I imagine that reel is the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Handled it in the store, felt solid. It's actually bigger feeling than the 300 sized curado IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 My favorite reel is the older version. I use it more than my Plouton. Very dependable reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrystowing Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have a toro 50 and Nacl 50.the Nacl feels a little more solid casts like a dream.i use my Nacl for heavier baits works great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiswimbait Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Toro's are pretty popular with musky guys so if the nacl is built as well they should hold up fine to swimbaiting. I had a toro 51 (non-nacl) and it was a solid feeling reel I just didn't care for the low profile and ended up giving it away. I know a guy who has a couple in the bigger size but he hasn't fished them yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I like the toros, 50 and 60 size but the 60 is a little awkward in my hand, low profile but really wide and doesnt feel right... but that could stem from the fact im a round reel guy. The 50 on the other hand is a little more comfortable and they take a ton of abuse. offers low gear ratios too, althought my friend has a 60 in the 4.7:1 gearing and that feels a little slow for me, which is weird cuz i roll 5:1 reels, but you can feel the difference between the two.
