Re: Gear ratio
I like the Diawa Saltist for everything (fluke, blackfish, stripers, etc). Can't afford a bunch of $200+ reels so i just have one that's good for just about everything. It's a 6:1 gear ratio or something along those lines. It's pretty darn fast, plus it has a lot of power to yank blackfish out of the wrecks. If you're a bait dragger, then it really doesn't matter what reel you use for fluke, but if you're bucktailing, i think it makes a difference to get a nice reel. The only vice of the Diawa reels would be that they're a little heavy, but they are solid and last forever.
