I am looking to put together a finesse swimbait setup. I have looked around for different reels and came across the Orra Winch. It is a Low Profile reel (which i would prefer for this setup) with a deep spool. I will be throwing swimbaits (6" BBZ, 6" Hudds, 6" Mattlures Tournament Trout, Black Dog G2 Shellcracker, etc.) around 2oz or less with it. 

 

Have any of you used this reel for this purpose? If you have how did the lower ratio gearing work for swimbaiting?

 

Or could you guys suggest another low profile reel for these lighter swimbaits?

    I just did this last year and absolutely love it!   I use my Orra winch, 12lb test and I use it to fish my Keitech finesse swimbaits.  The head of choice is the VMC Half Moon heads.  Works perfect for me.  :)

    I will be probably be pairing this reel with the Irod Genesis II Fred's Magic Stick or the Daiwa S 7'4" Heavy. How does this reel handle weights around 2oz.?
