7.1:1 For Spinnerbaits?

[BasshunterJGH]

I have a 7.1:1 reel I'd like to use for jigs, worms and possibly spinnerbaits. Is a 7.1:1 to fast for spinnerbaits? Also what line do u recommend for this combo. I was thinking sunline 16 lb fluoro?

I use a 7:1 for spinnerbaits and it works great, I haven't been using flouro for my spinnerbaits I've been trying out 20lb braid lately but 16lb flouro should be fine but I would prefer a little smaller. But Idk what conditions your fishing or what you want your bait to do.

I use a 7:1 for spinnerbaits and it works well. Line depends on cover, I will use anywhere from 12 to 20 pound flouro.

 

The one caveat for the reel ratio is larger spinnerbaits or larger blades. I can get tiring if you are using the high speed ration when using these.

Yes works good, throw 3/8 and 1/2 oz mostly all day on 30# braid.

works good 6:4 better at times.
