Hey Guys,
Can someone explain the figures on reels to me - I mean the ratios that are on them such as 4:1:1 etc
Im fairly sure they relate to speed etc .
I am looking to get a reel for spinning with a good retrieval speed so my hands dont feel like they are about to leave my arms after an hour of spinning!! :?
Any recommendations for my next purchase....have up to about €50 - €60 to waste (as my missus says) :)
Thanks,
John

is i see it it means 4 turns of the bale arm/barrel to 1 turn of gears to 1 turn of handle hence 4:1:1
thats the way i see it anyway.. if someone else wants to go into more detail feel free

reel ratios
the figures relate to the number or rotations of the spool to one turn of the handle ie 4.1 turns of the spool to one turn of the handle the higher the number the faster the retrieve
