For many people, summertime means it’s time to grab the fishing pole and head for the lake or ocean. Whether you’re an expert angler or a novice, having the right gear can mean the difference between landing that big fish and having to tell a story about the one that got away. We want you to have the best equipment possible when you set out to reel that big one in. This review of the new Abu Garcia REVO Toro 50 baitcast reel will give you the information you need to make an informed decision about a critical piece of your fishing gear, one which anglers everywhere are calling the best in its class.

Sleek and well-designed, the Abu Garcia REVO Toro 50 baitcast reel is an inspiration in fishing reels. It adds the high-capacity spool size found on a typical round reel to a low-profile design. Its 22-pound drag system is two to three times more powerful than any other reel in its class. This means that it not only fits comfortably into your hand, and is easy to hold on to for long periods of time, but it gives you the power you need to wear that fish out before your hand wears out.

This reel is designed to give you unsurpassed performance. The high-capacity spool holds 200 yards of 14-pound monofilament fishing line and has an oversized main drive gear. These features, combined with 22 pounds of maximum drag, give you what you need to fight a hard-driving, long-running fish from the minute the hook is set. This is critical when you’re trying to keep that trophy striped bass from heading for a brush pile.

Definitely designed to last, this reel is made of X-Craftic™ aluminum alloy which means it’s lighter than regular aluminum reels, very durable, and corrosion resistant. The seven High-Performance Corrosion Resistant (HPCR®) bearings and Duragear™ brass gears add to the reel’s durability and long life, and make it perfect for fishing in both fresh and salt water. This reel is built to last, and you’ll be fishing with it for many years to come, regardless of where your travels take you.

Additional features on this Abu reel include synchronized levelwind for even line lay and long-range casting, a six-pin centrifugal braking system, and a cranking speed ratio of 5.4:1. It even includes an alarm that lets you know when you’re about out of line. An extended throw and paddle handle are both included with the reel.

Anglers everywhere are raving about this Abu reel and calling it the best in its class. Its smooth operation, light weight, and phenomenal features make this one of the best fishing reels available for the money. Try it yourself. We think you’ll agree. The Abu Garcia REVO Toro 50 will quickly become your favorite rig, and will make you the envy of your fishing buddies for years to come.
