Brian Needham Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 what are the IPT of the gear ratios shimano uses? never see them on TW or the like. please inform. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted December 14, 2012 Super User Posted December 14, 2012 IPT is determined not only by the gear ratio, but by the diameter of the spool. So, one particular reel model could have a different IPT than another even though having similar gear ratios. Best bet would be to just go to the Shimano web site and look up the reel that you're interested in - the IPTs are listed in the specification data. http://fish.shimano.com P.S. - while I own a number of Shimano reels...I'm not a "Shimano Guy"... 1 Quote

Super User LgMouthGambler Posted December 14, 2012 Super User Posted December 14, 2012 I wouldnt worry too much about IPT, it changes depending on how much line is on the spool. Just worry about the ratios, and use them for your basis of use. Quote
