bpNClgmouth Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I just wanted to get some input from others on how they like 5:3:1 reels for their cranking. I mostly shallow crank and have always used a 6:3:1 but lately have gotten interested in the slower ratio. Are they useful for all cranking or just when your deep diving? Quote
WanderLust Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I use my Winch for all types of cranks... I just change up the rod based on application. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 IMO shallow cranking doesn't need a slower ratio reel. The only reason i have one is for deep crankin because of the resistance you will face using such lures. The slower retrieve gives more power and less effort on my part to move the crank through the water. My shallow crankbait setups are all 6.3:1. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 7, 2011 Super User Posted March 7, 2011 Most shallow and medium cranks I fish on a Curado E7. Definitely like my winch or E5 for deep cranks like DT16 and DD14/22. Quote
