i have never seen or used that newell, but the newell i have is a xxx-5 (can't remember the model #). i think the -5 part is the gear ratio. for my likings, that is too fast for eeling. i was eeling with an abu 7500, but found it to be too fast and went back to my 7000 geared at 4:1 or so. just my thoughts.
