50 for mostly fresh, 60 for salt

Why?

Just curious ... I've never owned a low profile bait caster for salt (which is where I'll use it).

They work great for casting swimbaits at jumpers when albacore fishing.  That's what I have used em for.

My question was WHICH one, the 50 or the 60, and why.

To ad more specifics, for inshore only, mostly rockfishing and salmon.  I have other casting reels for offshore albacore.

I caught that thresher on a Revo 50 (non HS tho). Bought it from Turners Outdoors in Socal for $130 a few years ago. Love that reel. But it doesn't work any more lol.

bought the 60.

The only difference is line capacity. I have the 50 and it works great for everything inshore.  I will use it for salmon too on the rivers.

Did some research of my own.     Yup, the 60 has more line capacity due to it being wider.  I think I'm fine with the line capacity of the 50 (with 30# braid) so I ordered one.  This will go on my lighter duty rockfish rod which is really more of a salmon rod (moderate/fast action 8.5' rod).  Replacing the 6500 that's currently on it.  Time for me to see what this low profile action is all about ...about time, huh?

F**k it. Just ordered two 50s.

Thanks for the heads up, Roger!

You are going to love the feel of this reel in your hand. I would advise though immediately changing out for ceramic bearings and better grease. The bearings are not that great for what we do in the salt. I had all mine changed out and lubricate with 3in1 after every use. Especially the level wind rack.

Just signed up news letter & got another $10, but looks like 60HS is gone...

I think I just ordered one but when I checked out it didn't give me an order confirmation #? It just took me to my empty shopping cart. Is this what you guys got? Should I be waiting for an email with confirmation?

I would call them. I was able to get to the confirmation page as well as getting a email confirmation.

 Naoaki, I bought 4 of the 60's just in case they sold out. Taking care of my brothers. I have 3 for sale when they get here. Same price.
