Hey everybody
I'm wanting to set up an arsenal to be able to reach deeper summer fish and I realize to deep crank I'd really need a low gear ratio reel around a 5.3:1 - 5.6:1 but at that speed is there anything else I would be able to do effectively technique-wise?? Just don't want to spend $100+ to only be able to deep crank right now but will if I have to. (Think I'll be getting Lew's LFS unless anyone knows a better $100 reel for this type fishing).
Also, I'm pretty sure about getting another Duckett Ghost as the rod (already have one in 7' MH) but have thought about the Veritas as well (opinions?). For deep cranking and such, what would be a good rod length, action, power, etc.?
Thanks for any feedback, trying to expand my reach to deep fishing but need a little help before I invest
