I wanted to throw this out for the people who use 200 sized reels for swimbaiting or any type of fishing really. When tossing these big baits we tend to use big line like 20lb and up. Sometimes you don't want to use your big 400 sized reel and would rather use your comfortable 200 sized reel instead. The problem is how much of that 25lb line you can put on there. That's the biggest issue I see. What I do is barrow the saltwater fishing idea by spooling with braid then have a 3ft leader of whatever pound line I need. On my Daiwa Ryoga and other smaller size reels I use 30lb braid as the backing and then use a 25lb 3ft. piece of fluoro/ mono. The knot I use is a double uni-knot and it has worked for me flawlessly. If the line did break it was never from the knot failing but the leader line itself. I figured if the saltwater guys can catch nice size saltwater fishing with 30lb. braid as a backing why can't I implement this into my freshwater game. Just my two cents.

This is a very well written thorough review on the Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast that I saw on Stripersonline.com. I thought it would be a good share for anyone interested or looking for some good information about the reel. Enjoy!! http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/624875-abu-garcia-revo-toro-beast-preview/
