Anybody use a Shimano TranX or Abu Garcia Revo Toro? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I took my Toro 50 out for some fun on paddies last summer and it was a fun reel to use on the 15-20 lb football YF Tuna.

A true workhorse is you ask me.

I fish a revo toro nacl 60 series. It is probably my favorite reel. It has enough line capacity and drag for yt and wsb but still small enough to easily cast plastics in the kelp. I troll and fish live bait with it also, just turn on the clicker and wait for it to sing. The Abu is very nice and I am quite happy with it.

I don't have any experience with the Tranx, primarily because I fish left handed and Shimano doesn't offer a lefty Tranx otherwise I would probably own one.

I have 2 toro 50's and love them. I fish calicos with 65lb braid tied to 40-50 flouro no issues, great reels. I also have 2 lexa 300s that I like even more than the toros.

Toro NaCl 50 or 60. They both have 22# of drag and are made to fish the salt. I've caught plenty big fish on them and they're still going strong.
