[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 7419, member: 148"] Bryan, For most of my general use reels I don't take the gear ratio into account when buying either. I'm just saying that if you use one regularly and switch to a lower gear ratio, you'll see the difference and have to change your reeling spped to maintian the same lure action. Like with my ultralights, switching between the 4.6:1 and a 3.5:1 reels requires me to change my cranking speed to get the same action. It's not a hard thing to do but sometimes feels a little weird escpecially after 2-3 hours with one before switching. [/QUOTE]
