I do not know which gear ratio to get on my Lews Tournament MB Speed Spool.  I  would want it to be left handed but it only comes in a 7.5:1 which seems to fast. I am deciding between 6.8:1 (28 IPT) or 7.5:1(31IPT). I want the gear ratio to be versatile or good for most baits. So which one should I get?? 

:DThx

    28 ipt is sufficient for most apps. Its not ideal for deep crankbaits but can be sped up or slowed down for whatever you are throwing. I have an assortment of different reels for different apps. But if i were to choose only one it would be the 6:8:1 over the 7:5:1.

    The 6.8 is more versatile.

    6.8:1 (28 IPT) is more versatile.
