npl_texas Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 I'm looking for a recommendation for a 5:1 reel for deep cranking. I have an Orra Winch and Tatula CT but I'm looking for something a little more refined. What do you guys use? Quote

Jelvas Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 It depends if you´re a righty or a lefty! If you´re a righty theres lots of options out there... it´s just a matter of you chosing the one that you like the most. I´m a left hand retrieve guy... i use two Abu Garcia Revo Winchs, 1 Gen 1 (the blue one) and one Gen 2 (the black one), and one Lews BB1. The BB1 and Gen 2 Revo Winch are the better casters, the Gen 1 Revo Winch it´s, by far, the most smooth and refined... i like all three but if i have to choose only one it would be the Gen two revo... i feel it to be the better reel all things considered... 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 26, 2017 Super User Posted August 26, 2017 I prefer round reels over low profile for cranking deep diving lures do to larger diameter spools, strong frames and quite smooth gears. A-Jays suggestion is ideal, any of the Calcutta's or the lower price point Cardiff all perform good. Tom 3 Quote
