evilcatfish Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Looks like Abu was showing off some new large size reels (and rods) at Icast this year. Anybody here seen them in person yet? They look nice but in the videos on TW the LP reels look huge (like Lexa 400 size) Thinking about getting one but I don't have giant hands...and whats with the stupid ass graphic on the round reel? http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Abu_Garcia_REVO_Toro_Beast_Casting_Reel/descpage-RTB.html http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Abu_Garcia_Ambassadeur_Beast_Round_Casting_Reel/descpage-RCR.html http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Abu_Garcia_REVO_Toro_S_Casting_Reel/descpage-RTOS.html Jerrystowing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilcatfish Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 how bout for 400$ they dont even put a thumb bar on that round reel?! Damn I didn't even notice that.

Nufo Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Damn I didn't even notice that. Pretty much a C3 with upped bearings and a pretty handle, that's lame your paying for the CNC machined aluminum frame. Still not a $400 reel maybe $250. The toro beast seems promising but I think they missed the mark on the price point. Keep all those extra handles and sell them for $300 and your in the right ball park evilcatfish and Rogervang 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfever Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 13 Oz ain't it a bit heavy considering you'll be chucking 8 to 10 Oz baits also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I do think they completely missed on the price point of these new reels, but other than that, not much to complain about. 13 Oz ain't it a bit heavy considering you'll be chucking 8 to 10 Oz baits also Next time you go to the bathroom, check to make sure you still have a pair. If they're still there, see a doctor and get your testosterone levels checked, to make sure they're still working. If both of these check out, go get a gym membership, or take up knitting. northeast_trev, igl00jx, Jerrystowing and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbub19 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 They were mostly targeting the Musky/Pike crowd with the new rods/reels. (Hence the graphic) Swimbait bass guys are just an added bonus to them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
