706---I'm pretty sure thats what I did for the quick calculation. So yea the retrieve isnt all that bad. I cant remeber off the top of my head what a vs250 retrieve rate is but the 706 isnt too far off from that. The 706 is faster than a vs300 i think....
Its been discussed here before I think but when you pull in a fish you pull with the rod and reel up the slack so the lower gear ratio doesnt make too much of a difference. I'd rather have a faster retreive rate to real up on a fish that might be coming at me with a big swell or for other reasons. For big game fishing the reels are more important to act like a winch.
