I mainly fish plastics, what in your opinion would be a good ratio reel?
Easy to grasp explanation of gear ratios. Years of experience has taught me that faster is not always better.. When Carolina rigging for example, you can actually over work the bait with a 7 or 8 speed reel…many of us Tourney guys use a 6.1 or 28 IPT (inches per turn )reel for the Carolina technique. Time on the Water!! Like most things in Bass fishing will help you figure out what works best for you. Rob
Now what brand and what do i look for in a baitcaster for my first one that im ..bearings etc.???
Thanks you so much wise fisherman from youtube. I had this questions for years and your video explained everything
Just subscribed
Thank you👌👍
This was the best explanation I've seen so far on youtube. Quick and simple. Another great video Gene.
Thanks it helped a lot.
What’s your frog fishing gear ratio
Between you and @Tylersreelfishing i've learned so much and its really shown personally, i appreciate you and everything you do, thank you.
Man they need like a reelguide . The schematics don't tell me but what's obvious. I have a Shimano slx 150 xg I found that my square bill googan crank bait is a match made In heave . 7 lb largemouth then a 8.5 lber about 30 minutes after. Still not sure what else it's good for. I've got the googan soft baits too. But I'm fishing a Pond. So 8:1:1 isnt best option . And I just got a Abu Garcia stx reel it came with no spool! They won't refund me either. I literally have to buy the whole reel again. Because they don't make spare spools and I have tried and tried and tried.
Thanks a lot.
I'm just getting into fishing and you have BY FAR the best video for a beginner. Well done & thank you.
Thanks men this video is awesome learn a lot now I now what a need
So I just bought a 13 fishing 7:3:1 reel, thinking I would use it for lipless cranks. If i do,should I slow my retrieve compared to how fast I would retrieve on a 6 speed? Is it just a matter of experimentation to figure out what speed the bass will go for. Just hoping I didn't waste money on a reel that wont work for what I intended.
Good vid. No fluff, filler BS. Thanks
Why not just reel slower with the 8 speed?
hahahahah i was looking for BCAA ratios and i keep listening until min 1.27
1 of my reels is a 7.2.1 is that fast action
I punch all day. Think I need a 8 ?
Today I lost a very large heavy bass in the weeds. My bait caster kept slipping and I lost her. I paid 50 dollars for it and I thought this would be great. Apparently not
What ratio do I need ? I target big bass in northern Canada
Thxs for the video even though I don’t have a bait caster I will in the future now I know what they mean.
yb better
duh! i feel like an idiot now! That was a light bulb on kinda video!!
GREAT VIDEO.. I tend to like 7 speed best, then down to the 6 speeds..
2 things you didn't cover..size of the spool will also dictate how fast a bait moves, not detrimental to the equation, but what is your opinion on it?
Also, top water lures (walk the dog/popR/frog/etc) and jerk baits.. I prefer the 7 speed for those because it helps keep up with the slack line better.. same goes for any type of plastic that you retrieve with any kind of twitch..
I'm definately not trying to speak over you, but just thought it would help add to this discussion of reel speeds.
THANKS.. Hope to see you out there sometime at the mountain lakes
Pretty much everything I need ed to know!
Man that was awesome absolutely perfect couldn’t explain it any better thank you
Thanks
This dude is so good at simplifying things
