Musky reel suggestions

    Looking for a second casting reel for musky. 6.2:1 ratio (or around there), good line capacity, high drag capacity. Looking to spend around $200. Low profile would be nice.

    I have a 5.4:1 Revo Toro and really like it, but need something faster for another rod. The only 6.2:1 reel they have in the Toro series is the Beast, and it’s a little out of my price range.

    I don’t spend enough time fishing for pike or musky, or I’d go for the beast.

    Look for a used toro NaCl high speed. You might be able to find one online new.

    Doing my usual pre-trip emergency shopping. Gotta have it by Friday.

    The Lexa seems to be fairly small spool wise. Any idea on drag?

    Ended up finding the Abu Garcia Toro NACL for $199, plus Abu has a promotion for a $30 prepaid card for reel purchases of $199 or more.
