[size 3]I am the dumb question designee for the week and here I go:
I notice on the baitcasting reels there are numbers like 6.2:1 and 5:1. I know it has to do with the speed of the reel or how much line it will retrive per turn but don't know which ones will be faster, the 6.2:1 or the 5:1?
Also what applications is a fast reel needed and the same for slow retrive?
I think the crackbaits will need to be fast and the worms should be slower, but "slow and fast" is relative too. Can you help me out?
Thanks[/size]
