  1. Robert Riley's post in How Do I Know What's The Best Gear Ratio For What Baits? was marked as the answer   
    Gear ratio is proportional to inches per turn. So lower ratios will stay in the strike zone longer; higher ratios are obviously faster, so you'll want that for plastics, topwaters, anything where you need to reel in slack line very quickly. Kind of like a car, lower gears will have more power, so high resistance baits, like swimbaits or crankbaits call for a lower ratio. 
     
    Generally:
    7:1 plastics, jigs, topwaters
    6:1 squarebills, spinnerbaits (personally swimbaits)
    5:1 cranks, swimbaits
