Crankbait Reel
Ok so, I've always fished a 6.4:1 Gear Ratio reel for crankbaits. And really like Flo, also a quite stiff rod, Especially for ripping lipless crankbait (In Grass).
Now, today I got my New Weightless Worm Rod and paired it with the 7.1:1 Gear Ratio. Its also My "Pond Rod". So anyways, I was throwing a Lipless with it and I just dont see my self going back to a 6.4:1 reel ever ....... Always a pain to try to keep up in shallow water. My question is how many of you guys do the same? I know it kinda makes sence, but what about for square bill, because I'd rather slow down then have to speed up, fishing atleast. Lol. Do you guys use a 7.1 for all crankbaits? Hope that makes sence. Also, I was doing a sweeping motion, then just catching up with the reel. It worked wonders (Xr50 Real Gill Chicken Pox), No pics, have a crummy phone. I've been fishing this pond for a few years now, and caught this one bass with a messed up right lip last year, Well darn thing bit again, and it had to be the plumpest little bass I've ever seen, It was gunna pop!!!! Lol. The other didnt seem so full, No eggs this time of the year, Right? "And they say you can't catch Bass in the Winter" -Tim
