Crankin' reels

[1FASTLASER]

Well I see that I have been missing some interesting conversations. So here I go with my .02 on the ratio of reels etc etc... Being that I am a journeyman millwright and it is my job to know things like being able to change the final drive ratio of any piece of equipment I walk up on I have to say that Cranebird is in fact correct when he posted his post about all the things necessary to determine line recovery rate and or speed. The spool height,width,line diameter and gearing all comes into play when determing final drive erate. For exampl say I am using a 10inch v belt pulley on the drive end and a 18inch v belt pully on the driven end to change up the final drive I dont have to change out the gearing in the motor if I want to slow it down or speed it up. In fact If I wanna slow it down a couple of rpms I go to a thinner v belt and if I wanna speed it up go thicker.
