Capacity of Abu Toro 50 and 60 vs curado
alirghty.... ive decided to go for an abu toro over the curado 300E, but am trying to decide which one to go for (the 50 or 60)... the main difference is obviously the line capacity... am leaning towards the 60, but it does look quite large...
would go for the 50 if its got the same/ larger capacity than the curado, but after a fair while searching for the capacity (im MM) on the net, ive drawn a blank...
Of course I can find the usual yard/pound capacitys, but in my expereince this isnt really accurate as the mm diameter ratings...
-anyone know what these are for the toro 50 and 60?
-anyone know if the curado matches the 50 for capacity?
-anyone seen the 50 and 60 side by side, and if so, how much of a size difference is there? want the larger capacity for whats its going to be used for, but not if it means its too bulky to handle easily
cheers all!

I've got an Abu Toro
I've got an Abu Toro 60HS
It's an awesome reel mate. I took it to the coral sea on a long range charter and flogged it hard....got everything from trout to wahoo on it.
The 60 takes at least 350m of 30lb Tufline XP with rrom left for a decent wind on.
Just don't get it wet,,,they don't like salt water.
