I was going to go into another long winded explanation about gear ratio, line retrieval rate, and torque, but I don't to start sounding like Nofear!

Yes, a 5:1 reel will work fine for mid divers.

I think it's from the hours 5:00pm - 9:00am, you know, evening and night time cranking!

Just kidding Hayden. I use a 5.0:1 for my evening cranking.
