C. THE TORO™ FAMILY OF LOW PROFILE REELS:
Top of the line features meet cutting edge technology. Built for reliability and performance, the
Toro™ family of baitcasters has been constructed to handle a wide variety of freshwater fishing
or saltwater fishing conditions. The new ergonomic design delivers greater line capacity, high
max drag and the ability to fish larger baits. The Toro™ family of low profile reels include the
MaxToro™, Revo® Toro™ S, Revo® Toro™ Rocket, and the Revo® Toro™ Beast.
D. HOW TO FILL THE SPOOL WITH LINE
All Toro™ low profile reels are designed for monofilament, braid and fluorocarbon lines.
Personal preference and fishing conditions will determine line selection. Begin by passing the
line through the guide located on the front of the reel. Secure the line to the reel using the arbor
knot. Control the filler spool by inserting a pencil into the spool hub. While maintaining tension
on the line with your fingers, wind the reel handle and continue to fill with line to approximately
1/16" (1.5 mm) below the top of the reel spool for best results. Do not overfill.

Braided Line
Some anglers prefer to add a monofilament backing to the reel spool before attaching braided
line. This helps reduce line slip. Using the above instructions, fill the spool with enough
monofilament line to cover the spool. Tie the tag end of the monofilament backing to the
braided line using a uni-to-uni knot, Albright knot or equivalent. Continue to fill the spool with
braid to approximately 1/16" (1.5 mm) inside the upper lip of the spool. Do not overfill.

E. DRAG ADJUSTMENT
All Toro™ low profile reels deliver smooth and reliable drag tension. Control the amount of
drag by turning the adjustment star inside the reel handle. Rotate the star clockwise (right) to
increase drag or counterclockwise (left) to decrease drag. For best results the drag should be
adjusted to approximately one-third of the breaking test of the line being used. This can be
accomplished by tying the line to a spring scale for precise adjustment. Make sure the reel is
first mounted on a rod and the line has been run though the rod guides before tying to the scale.
The drag should always release before the line reaches its breaking point. Factors such as line
type, technique and fishing conditions may require adjustment to these recommendations. Any
drag setting above half of the line strength risks line breakage.
