what ratio reels are u guys useing on the following set ups

worm rod

spinnerbait rod

crankbait rod

flipping rod

and any other set ups that u guys are using

worm rod - 31.6 IPT

spinnerbait rod - 25 IPT

crankbait rod - 20.6 IPT & 23.6 IPT

flipping rod - 28 IPT

jerkbait rod - 31 IPT

topwater rod - 28 IPT

swimbait rod - 25 IPT

carolina rod - 28 IPT

drop shot rod - 33 IPT

shakeyhead rod - 33 IPT

weightless worm rod - 31.6 IPT

frog rod - 26.4 IPT

pitching rod - 28 IPT

worm...fast 7.1

spinning... FAST 7.1 or now 7.3

crank...SLOW 4.9 or 5.1 (round reel)

fliping...what i call normal 6.4

and topwater...either a 7.1 or a 6.2

swimbait....sometimes a 5.1 and other times a 7.1 depends.

Rod moves the bait: faster reel.

Reel moves the bait: slower reel.

There are exceptions to the rule.

worm rod= 7:1:1

spinnerbait rod= 6:4:1

crankbait rod= 6:4:1

flipping rod= 7:1:1

All are Revos

I actually have several others that I didn't list (such as dock skipping rod, plastics in tight quarters rod, etc.) and there are the several muskie rods (though I only use two different gear ratios on all my muskie rods).  I know, I have an illness.

I like to think of it as a "passion".

yesssss....positive reframe:D

I use a six speed reel for everything but traps, I kick it up to a seven for the lipless.

worm rod = 6.2:1 or up

spinnerbait rod = 5.0:1 or up

crankbait rod = 3.8:1 - 4.1:1 - 5.0:1

flipping rod = 6.2:1 or up
