Hi mate, thanks for your video. I am in Australia ( Perth ), normally I use to fishing from the beach and rocks catching tailor and salmon with lures. I have a reel with ratio 5:7 =96 every turn of handle. In your opinion I can take it or is better to change the reel with ratio 6:2 =104 turn of handle
Hi Stefano. 5.7:1 and 96cm per turn is plenty fast enough for tailor, Aussie salmon and most other pelagic species. I wouldn’t make a switch just to get 8cm per handle turn more line recovery per handle turn. If you like your current reel, stick with it. Tight Lines.
@@StarloGetsReel thank you so much. I wanted to ask you the question because some people tell me that if it's only for spinning 6:2 would be better. I bought a reel one week ago but I am still on time If I want to change it.
How is the spool’s diameter has any affect in line retrieval and not the rotor arc / gear speed per crank , ie the start of the line retrieval on empty spool is the same amount of the line retrieval when it’s full ( no spool diameter affect ) .
Sorry, Maasai, but that's actually not correct The effective diametre of the spool has a major impact on the actual retrieve speed. That's why, when you start spooling up an empty reel from a bulk or filler spool that you've bought the line on, the spool the line came on starts out spinning quite slowly, but accelerates as your reel fills up - to the point where it can burn your hands or those of your assistant if they are applying pressure to the spinning spool to tension the line. You can easily observe this phenomenon for yourself next time you fill up with line. It's simple physics - the same physics that explains why the outer rim of a bike wheel travels much faster than the hub when the wheel spins. In practical terms, one full wrap of line around the 20mm core of an empty reel spool accounts for around 63mm of line recovered. By the time that reel is nearly full of line and has an actual spool (line load) diametre of, say, 40mm, each wrap accounts for almost 126mm of line. So, if the reel has a gear ratio of 5:1, it'll be pulling in 315mm (31.5cm) per handle turn with an empty spool when you start filling it, and 630mm (63cm) per handle turn when full... A huge difference... twice as fast, in fact! But don't take my word for it... grab a tape measure and go check it out for yourself. ;) Science is a wondrous thing... and as Scotty from Star Trek liked to say: "you cannae defy the laws of physics"!
very interesting thanks for breaking it down!
Glad you liked it!
Great vid!
Thanks, Big Banana!
Nice presentation. Would be good to hear your recommendations for different species / situations. Cheers PP
Thanks for that feedback.
So much info thanks Starlo
No worries!
Thank you from California !
You're welcome!
very much required description Steve
Thanks, Keith!
Hi Starlo, would you recommend high or low gear ratio when big bait fishing of beach/break walls?
You don't need a super fast reel for that and a lower gear ratio will give you more cranking power. 4:1 to 5:1 would be perfect, I reckon.

Thanks so much!
Thank you👍
Thank you too!
