Crankbait reel question
Right now I am using two Garcia Abu C3 baitcasters for fishing my crankbaits. They are great reels, but after 20 years or so of using them I'd like to replace them. They don't give me the casting distance I want with smaller cranks. Plus I really have gotten to love the low profile style reels now as they fit my smaller size hands better. I know in the past there are several guys in here who have said they really like the BPS David Fritts baitcaster for fishing cranks. I'm just wanting to know if you still like the David Fritts baitcaster or is there another reel you would suggest for fishing crankbaits? There are several good reels I could choose, but most of them have a gear ratio of 6.3:1 or higher, and I prefer a lower ratio reel for fishing crankbaits, especially the larger ones. One other question, for those who do like the David Fritts reel, would you prefer the 4.7:1 ratio or the 5.2:1 ratio?
