Hey Fellas; tax refund here , woke that   monkey up! Any way I ordered the 4.7:1 for cranking, anyone who has actually used this reel , can I get some feedback on it?

I ordered the same one last year and i love it. I really enjoy the 4.7:1 ratio for deep cranking. Surprisingly the reel casts very well for being fairly inexpensive. I ordered mine when BPS had them on clearence.

p.s. Hello to everyone, this is my first post here. I have been snooping around in the backround for quite some time though.

Thanks for the reply and  

Hey Nightstick. Welcome aboard.

Muddy, you know that whatever you use will produce fish.

They come to you like a magnet.

But check the perimeter of your house. The Bait Monkey is hiding out there, just waiting......

If the newest black ones are as tough as the first beige colored ones, you've got a very good deep crank reel. I bought a new black one last year in case something happened to my old beige one....I'm still using my beige one and believe me, it gets used A WHOLE LOT. And it will outcast any other reel that I own. No kidding.

Now go get yourself some DD22's, some Muscle Deep 15+, some DT16's and catch some big'uns.

I am trying my hardest not to buy any new reels this year, but if I do that will be "The One".  Mainly because of what I hear about the casting distance like 5BL said.

Uhhhh.......that plan is not going to work. Understand??

i am going to get one of them.

Santa brought me one on a bps crankin stick, I haven't even thrown it yet, but hopefully that will change next weekend

Well I looked at that in the BPS catalog. Were my eyes deceiving me or is there only a right hand version? If so, that stinks! >

LOL...me too....very soon now.
