I currently use 6:4 bait casters. Which gear ratio is the best for all round fishing?

That's all I use, but I don't do freshwater.

Going fast


Burning a buzz bait or fishing a crank bait fast.

Moving your plastic too fast so that they bite the tail off it. That how it works for me. LOL

I like when they try to bite the tail off a topwater.

It's 7.1:1 and 6.4:1, right? There's only about a 10% difference between the two.

The burner...

Good for swimming a jig fast around schooling trout, or throwing a rat-l-trap all day covering ground.
