Introduction: Big, strong, and slow - big bait fisherman are always on the look out for a reel with these three characteristics: big in terms of line capacity with twenty to thirty pound test nylon monofilament; strong in terms of power, frame rigidity, and drag; slow in terms of gear ratio. Like the ubiquitous triangle of desire, you can usually find two of the three traits, but to have all three in concert - especially if you prefer a left hand retrieve reel - well, that's the unicorn.
So does the Toro S model rate better or worse? It only has a single braking system which you put having two as a negative for the toro beast. Similar weight, less money, left hand models, only one slow speed but its only 3 inches difference in IPT.
How does it compare to the pld toro and toro nacl that the new toros are replacing?
