Mason DeCavitch Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Everyone, I have a 6.4:1 reel with a med. 7ft rod. I have it equipped 12lb fluorocarbon for my crankbaits and jerkbaits. I'm getting another rod probably medium heavy 7ft With either a 7.3:1 or 8.1:1 reel with 30lb braid. Just wondering what reel would be most beneficial for jigs, worms, lipless crank, and spinner baits. Quote
TH-Outdoors Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 7.3 so you can slow it down some with the spinnerbaits and lipless while still having the advantage of a high speed reel for jigs and senkos 1 Quote
Fun4Me Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I find that slowing down is less taxing than speeding up. I'd go with the 8 to 1. That way you could slow down and get close to a 7 to 1, or speed up on the 6.4 to 1 to get towards the 7 to 1. I used to only fish a 7 to 1. I went to fishing two baitcasters in 6.4 to 1 and 8 to 1 and don't regret it at all. 2 Quote
