For example for a 7.5:1 reel, assuming a full reel diameter of 1.5 inches, if the radius is reduced by 3/8 inch, the amount of line retrieved in one reel handle crank drops from 35.32 inches to 17.66 inches. On the smaller reels like the TS15HMB loss of line on the reel drops the bait retrieval rate significantly, so, if too much line has to be stripped off, you should probably put new line on the reel before you go out again. Not saying that it makes a significant difference compared to a 6.8:1 reel (and I would certainly use a 6.8:1 or lower reel), but every little bit helps. The higher 7.5:1 reel offsets that, so I don't have to reel as fast as I would a lower ratio reel. When that happens the diameter of line on the spool decreases reducing the amount of line reeled in per revolution of the reel. With the higher ratio reel I don't have to crank as fast to get the speed I want, which results in less shaking and reel movement.Īnother advantage is when I have to strip some line off the reel due to a backlash. Most times the bite is light and the smoother the retrieve the easier it is to feel the bite. I fish for whites by reeling a Mepps spinner up from the bottom, and they hit it on the retrieve.
