JEFF B. Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I was curious as to what everyone was using for different presentations as far as flipping, crankbaiting, spinnerbating etc. as far as speed ratio's go. Quote
powerman970 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I am using a 5.4:1 for crankbaits, a 7.1:1 for topwater and I have found that it is also helpful for t-rigging and jig fishing so I can pick up slack a lot quicker. 6.4:1 or 6.3:1 for everything else. Quote
Super User David P Posted March 4, 2009 Super User Posted March 4, 2009 There was two pretty long threads recently about this exact question. Search for it, there was some pretty good advice. Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I pretty much use a "burner" 7x:1 for everything (BC wise). Its easy enough to slow down but harder to speed up on a slower reel. Also, soon as I am through the "strike zone" can get it back quicker with the faster reel to cast again. Quote
Blade-Runner Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 5:1 for cranking, 6-7:1 for everything else. Quote
Ern Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Remember when a 4.7 : 1 and 5 : 1 was a Fast Retreive on a baitcaster?? If I remember right my Lew's Speed Spin had a 5:1, a Shimano BX-1 that had a 3.6:1. All the Abu's Casters had 4.7:1's as Fast. I love my 6:1 spinnning reels and 7:1 Baitcasters. Ern Quote
