Just wondering what speed reel you guys prefer for fishing spinnerbaits

It depends on the fishing technique, that mean that for some techniques I use a Curado B38, for other techniques I use a Alphas Type F, for others I use a Curado 200B and so on.

I like a slower gear ratio for throwin spinnerbaits. The two reels I usually throw spinnerbaits on are an Accurist AC400 and an Energy E750PT (both have a 5.1:1 gear ratio). I may use a faster reel if I was throwing them for smallies to be able to pick up line a little quicker.

I use an old blue Pro Qualifier round reel.  Its a 6.1:1 ratio reel and it serves me pretty well.

I use a 5.0:1 or a 5.8:1 for slow rolling large spinnerbaits in deep water and a 7:1 for burning them or fishing them shallow.

I throw spinnerbaits from 1/4 to1 oz., and on spinning and baitcasting tackle, slow-rolled, jigged,medium fast, and burn them. I guess anywhere from 4.3 to 6.1 : 1.  If i had a 7:1 i would use that too.

Quantum Energy 760PT 6.3:1. perfect all around gear ratio. Plenty fast and I can slow it down when needed.

If your limited to one reel, any 6 ratio will get the job done.

I like 7:1 for spinnerbaits.
