    IPT is determined not only by the gear ratio, but by the diameter of the spool. So, one particular reel model could have a different IPT than another even though having similar gear ratios.

    Best bet would be to just go to the Shimano web site and look up the reel that you're interested in - the IPTs are listed in the specification data.

    P.S. - while I own a number of Shimano reels...I'm not a "Shimano Guy"...:lol:

    exactly what i needed, I went to the website earlier, but never clicked the picture of the model I was looking for.

    your info produced the EXACT chart I was looking for.

    THANKS

    I wouldnt worry too much about IPT, it changes depending on how much line is on the spool. Just worry about the ratios, and use them for your basis of use.
