I found the toro winch made burning double 10 bucktails much more stress free than other reels I have used and the casting is very efficient with the well thought out ergonomics. Love my revo toro 60's but the winch sure makes those double 10's much easier to use. The reel is not quite as easy as the 6500's to maintain but it seems to not need maintenance as often. Did find an excellent how to video and article on the internet which makes the maintenance less daunting than the info in the owners manual.

I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been fishing muskies for many years and the winch is the best thing to come around!!! It makes tossing the big blades effortless! I have even suggested them for older friends to help extend their musky fishing! After 2 weeks and 10 hours a day fishing on a recent trip, the winch not only handled a couple 50 inch class fish, it also handled the fish of a lifetime!!! QUALITY is outstanding!!!
55 Inches!!! BIG Thanks!!!

I own 4 of the Revo Winches and 8 other various low profile Abu Garcia reels. I have been using Abu Garcia for over 30 years and the Revo series is above and beyong any other reels I have owned. The winches stand out more that any other reel because of its versatility. They are the perfect fit for my swimbait fishing because of the speed and the drag strength, especially when throwing weedless swimbaits in cover. Same goes with deep or medium diving crankbaits the speed is essential in reaching maximum depth and staying in the strike zone longer. I use spinnerbaits in the spring, summer and fall using 3/4 to 1 oz baits. The winch helps me the spinnerbait in contact with the bottom longer because of the speed of the reel.
When I use these reels all day applying these different methods it keeps my hands and arms from fatigue like other reels.
If you borrow or buy one, I will guarantee you will be hooked for a life time.
