Re: What Reel Ratio for What Type Fishing ??
basically you're gonna get 3 ranges:
slow, medium (avg?), and fast.
slows are usually under 5.5:1
avg is 5.5-6.5
fast is 6.5+
there are some common ratios: 5.0:1, 6.3:1, 7.0:1 which is what i would consider Slow, med, fast respectively.
a 6.3 is a do-all reel. its fine for just about everything. a slow or fast reel is really only needed to refine specific techniques based on the speed YOU want to fish them. For example - sometimes you throw a spinnerbait on the bottom and slow roll it, sometimes you wake-it just under the surface... use a slow reel for one, a fast for the other and so on.
i like a slow reel for crankbaits, i tend to fish them too fast, a slow reel forces you to slow it down. I like a burner (7.0) for topwater and spinnerbaits when i'm fishing them fast. everything else i use a 6.3.
