All things considered, I am very pleased with my purchase of the Revo Winch. I will likely buy another. It has also reminded to me that faster is NOT always better. Abu Garcia 6600 C4 As I begin to make ready for the 2006 Musky season, I recently purchased an Abu Garcia 6600 C4 reel. I purchased the reel because I wanted a reel with smooth action and a 6.3:1 retrieve ratio. The 6600 C4 has 4 stainless steel bearing, a 'FastCast' thumb bar and a 6.3:1 retrieve ratio that should help with imparting action to surface lures without causing fatigue. Aside from its mechanical features, the reel has a cast aluminum casing with a dark blue finish and a contrasting gold finish for the reel, handle and drag star. The reel comes with a power handle and a combination mechanical and magnetic brake that should cut down on those 'professional overruns' (commonly referred to as backlashes). Another interesting feature is the dimpled area of the reel. This is meant to provide a surface for the line to grab as you load the reel with line. Oh yes, the reel also has a 'line click' mode for those of you that want to hang a sucker or do some shoreline sucker fishing. I plan to load this reel with 50 pound test standard TUF line.
