Is Your Bass Fishing Reel TOO FAST?!?

This is going to sounds CRAZY, but the line pickup (a function of gear ratio and spool size) has to be just right to get the right action and the right bend in the rod for maximum feel when fishing a swimbait. A reel that’s too fast (has a gear ratio that’s too high) is easy to overwork the bait and kill the action, even if you slow down, you may be moving the line at the same rate, but for Justin Lucas, it just doesn’t feel right. The right reel (a reel with the right gear ratio and spool size) allows you to impart the right action and occasional pause to trigger strikes.
