Does anyone have a link or quick write up on Reel Ratios? As far as which is best for each scenario? 7:1, 6:3 etc... I am looking for an easy to read spreadsheet.
I want to learn as much as I can and increase my 'catching' odds.
Thank you much!

I like a 6.3:1 gear ratio for Jerkbaits,Spinnerbaits,Topwaters and Jigs
5.1:1 for shallow,med,deepdiving Crankbaits
7.1:1 for buzzbaits,lipless crankbaits
hopely this will help you some
What about for worms, plastics - t-rig, DS and flyline?
What about small-med swimbaits?
Thanks
Bass baitcasters are pretty simple just go by the ratio numbers as most of the reels have very similar sized spools but the spinning reels is a whole nother story if everybody here would just post the reel model and 1 turn of the handle retreive in inches it'd help everyone.

Thanks guys, I guess my next reel is going to be a 5:1 and should have everything covered.
6:1 would be a better all around gear ratio. 5 is a bit slow for a few of the moving applications. You'll be hurt more trying to burn on a slow ratio reel than trying to crank on a medium ratio reel.
