Miss it and the collar presses against the main gear and your reel won't turn once sealed up. This is a small issue because REVO Toro Beasts's drive shaft is square allowing the collar in question to slip down over the shaft in two different orientations - only one of them works with the keyed washer on the main drive. ![]() The Duragear Heavy Duty main gear is made of brass for smooth operation and better durability (compared to aluminum). Even then, normally this collar can be slid down the drive shaft before putting the sideplate back on the reel, but in the case of this reel, for some reason, that collar will not sip out of the anti-reverse bearing. Normally, the drive shaft is shaped in such a way, the collar will only slip down at a specific orientation lining it up easily with the washer on the main gear. It's a common design with low profile baitcasting reels. Otherwise, on reassembly, the keyed collar that goes around the drive shaft and engages the anti-reverse bearing in the sideplate slips into a washer on the main gear that secures the drag stack. The bolt holding the reel's handle in place must be removed with care - it's shallow height may be susceptible to being stripped if you're not careful. What's more is, it's an actual bolt, not a nut and the surface area for your wrench to grab hold of at the top of this nut is about half normal, so it's easy to strip if you're careful. Additionally, what you're looking at on the outside of the handle is the actual nut, not a cap. It threads onto and off of the reel in normal direction so be careful not to strip it. Well, actually, it's mostly just the reassembly, but the one thing to be mindful of, at least on the left hand retrieve reels, is that the nut that's holding the handle in place is not counter taped. ĭisassembly and reassembly of this reel is a little tricky. The oversized, EVA knobs work on this reel. Palming is the same as any 300-sized reel, so it's no better or worse there and the same goes with this reel's weight. The knobs are the same as those found on the standard REVO Beast and where I think they're a little large for such a small reel, on this larger reel, they are again, more proportionate. The sideplate is removed by unfastening this spring loaded screw that spans from one sideplate to the other. And of course, those extra handle options that are included in the box really help to customize the reel with how you intend to fish it. What I really like about this reel is how the long handle is very proportionate to the size of the frame. ![]() ![]() I've not handled the 60, but the 50 is plenty big for hurling big baits. Good drag as well.Abu Garcia's Unicorn : The REVO Toro Beast!!ĭesign & Ergonomics: There are no bones about it, this is a big reel and it is the smaller of two available sizes.
