I'm looking for a new baitcaster and I be decided on either the Abu Revo Inshore or the Abu Revo Toro NaCl. The Inshore has 185 yards of #30 braid while the NaCl has 250 yards of #30 braid but comes at the cost of a larger size. Do redfish (slots and bulls) require 250 yards of line or will I be ok with 185?

You are fine with 185 yards. Remember to use a flouro leader. The reds will buck hard when hooked and you need a little stretch near the hook. Don't set the drag too tight. You want them to be able to pull a little and then you can tighten drag if you need to, it's all about the fight.

They are both good reels but the Revo inshore will work just fine!
