Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Do you guys prefer a lower ratio reel or a higher gear ratio for swimbaits/ARigs? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 My Calcutta 200B for 1-5 oz. baits is a 6.0:1, bringing in ~27 IPT. It feels good to me, so I guess my answer is, "middle of the road." Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 3, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Sound advice. I'm afraid of going w/my 4.7:1 Shimano Corsair because I don't think ill be able to keep the bait off the bottom/ or take up slack on a hookset from a distance. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Depends on what you're fishing. List baits that you plan on throwing. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 3, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Booyah Flash Mob Jr w/3-5" Dean Rojas Cane Thumpers Booyah 3 Wire Rig (same baits as above) Berkley 5" Hollow Belly on a 1/2 to 3/4 oz internal weight Quote
Super User Solution SPEEDBEAD. Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Solution Posted December 3, 2014 I'd want something faster than 4.6 then for sure. A 6.3:1 low profile would serve you well. Actually, just about any normal 200 sized reel would be adequate for throwing those rigs. 2 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted December 3, 2014 Super User Posted December 3, 2014 Pretty much any lopro caster that takes up more than 25 IPT will be fine. Speeds 6.something to 1 is a good start. 1 Quote
