• Answer:

  Both are outstanding reels. There are only a few differences between them. You haven't indicated how you will use the reels. If you are after larger, more powerful fish, go with the 460. It has the same line capacity as the 360, but a higher pound rating. It weighs more, so may not be as much fun for a long day of fishing. However, its main attraction is the 4.6:1 gear ratio. This ratio means power. Power you can use against a large, mean fish. If you want to put in a long day of casting fast moving baits, go with the 360. Its higher 5.1:1 gear ratio is built for speed and it only weighs 12.9 ounces vs 19.4 ounces for the 460. Since they have practically the same "guts", go with the one that meets your needs based on the above criteria.
