Understanding Baitcaster Gear Ratios: What Gear Ratio Reel Should You Use??

[@YourNextCast]

Can't tell you how long I fished before understanding the impact of gear ratio. I used to think you always want it as fast as possible, but didn't realize how that would impact different lures and techniques. Great video. 👍

Thanks!!

It’s really one of the most important aspects of your setup and can have a huge impact on how many fish you actually land or get back to the boat. Having the right gear ratio for the situation is one of those things that just can’t be under estimated.

So I just bought a shimano curado 200 6.2:1 so is it gonna be to slow for crank baits or top water lures but good for jigs possibly I need help lol 😂

[@karlsfishingoutdoors415]

Nope! That's PERFECT. For cranks, anything under 7 is great. The deeper the crank, the slower you want to go to keep it down and in the strike zone. For topwater, jerkbaits, etc, 7+ is general practice.

@@karlsfishingoutdoors415 what would be your recommendation on line and line weight? I was thinking fluorocarbon and 15 or 17 weight

Is a 9.1.1 too fast for all around use
