Reel To Toss An A Rig

[airborne_angler]

I'm wanting to possibly throw a 3 wire Yum Flash Mob Jr in the future.I'm looking at putting a Hollow Belly Swimbait with1/8oz weighted swimbait hooks on the outer arms and a swimbait with a 1/4oz internal weight with the hook snipped off on the center arm (Arizona only allows 2 hooks on an A Rig. )

Is there a bare minimium gear ratio or other feature I should have on a reel to throw this rig.O plan on throwing it on a 7' Falcon heavy action Carolina Lizard Dragger I Rod.

If I had a spare $250 + shipping I'd have a Shimano Curado 300E or an EJ.  One is 6.4 to 1 and the other is 6.9 to 1.  That isn't an option right now, so I'm using an older Calcutta (3 BB model).  I believe that the gear ratio is 5-1.  It throws 65 lb braid great.  I think that gear ratio doesn't matter much, because basically you are always trying to slow roll it and tick the tops of whatever cover is out there.  I'm comfortable using a 5-1 reel for this because, basically most of my reels are 5-1.  I think that you should use whatever you are comfortable with and can get the best distance out of.

I don't throw a rigs much but I use a Cardiff 200. If I used it more I would probably get a Calcutta 300.

You could probably use any reel you own, your setup you want to throw isnt that heavy in all honesty. I threw a heavier a rig with a 7 to 1 PQ and had no problems, it didnt create much torque. 5 or 6 may probably be more ideal due to speed...

I use a 301E myself and its great because its very powerful for a 6 ratio reel. If I were going to use a smaller size reel I think I'd want a 5 ratio, but this is really just a personal preference thing. As has already been pointed out you can use just about any reel you already have. I do believe though if you really like throwing the rig you'll want to invest in a combo better suited to the technique.

I use a Lewis Super duty and a Abu 5500.

The rig you're wanting to fish isn't a big rig at all. I use a Curado 300E or a Calcutta 400B for the really big stuff but you'd be fine with most bass reels. I'd probably opt for something in the 6.2 ratio range. Something like a 5600 or 5500 round Abu or a Cardiff 200 would suit you just fine and wouldn't break the bank. An older 200 Curado or Cardiff would do the job just fine also.
