I'm eyeing the new Revo Rocket. Not in any rush. Just got to find a really good deal on it. Impulse buy price is $150 shipped on it.

    I like the high ratio reels for bottom contact baits. It helps catch up with fast moving fish and also allows you to quickly reel in to make another cast. Need? No, but they're nice to have. 

    *What gear ratio would you use for hollow body frogs ? While not a bottom contact application -many  folks seem to prefer a higher gear ratio .

    I have a 9.3 I use for frogs.
