I have started to clean my reels for I have shut down my fishing for the year which never started. I have eight total, of which 6 are Lews, 1 Abu Garcia and 1 BPS Pro Qualifer. 

The Abu Garcia has a gear ratio of 6.6:1 and two of the Lews has a gear ratio of 6.8:1. My question is, how or what would one fish these gear ratios???  The rest of my reels are Lews 7.5:1. I always thought all my reels were 7.5:1 but surprise. After this amount of time it might not even matter. Anyway thanks for your input and have a blessed day.

6-ratio is what I use for crankbaits. Have a Fuego CT 6.3:1 mounted on a Dobyns Fury 705CB as my crank rig.

Crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits, etc.  Something you need, or want a slower retrieve for.
