With a fast retrieve ratio reel you can retrieve slack line swiftly, set the hook hard and then tame the fish quickly – as well as reel in fast to make another cast – so the speed of the reel has less to do with the actual presentation than it does with managing your line and controlling the fish.

Same here in Fl.

Let us know what you decide on.

Just my 2 cents, If you go 8:1 you can slow your retrieve down if you like, However if you go 6:3 that's as fast as you will go. Just me but I would go 8:1.

Any updates???

Depends on water clarity on the body of water you are fishing. Gin clear yes, stained, tannic, vegetation not so much.

Chartreuse and White.

You can't. Get a small pool thermometer and keep it in your tackle bag.

I don't think it's living in fear, I believe it's living with the reality and being prepaired for the unknown.
