trupp30 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 What gear ratio do you all use for a swim jig reel 6.4, 7.1 or something else? Thanks for the help. Quote
CarolinaBoy4Life Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 6.4:1 is my choice. I can slow it down enough to keep it lower in water column or speed it up and burn it over grass. Quote
Evan K Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 6.x. I find it really hard to fish things like swimjigs, spinnerbaits, etc. with a fast reel. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 17, 2016 Super User Posted May 17, 2016 I like a fast reel. 6 something is fine, but 7 something is better. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 17, 2016 Global Moderator Posted May 17, 2016 I don't fish them often, but prefer a fast reel since I'm usually fishing over and around vegetation. Quote
Yudo1 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I use a 7.1 reel for swim jigs, chatter baits and spinnerbaits. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted May 17, 2016 Super User Posted May 17, 2016 Depends on the depth I need to fish them. There's no wrong answer here. Quote
