I like slower retrieve ratioreels. It is also nice if when you let go of the handle of the spinning reel that it just doesn't spin on it's own IHMO.

Out of a boat, I like the Abu 6500 size or Penn 975. Casting from shore, my trusted Shimano Spheros 8000 or Baitrunner 4500B. The old trust worth Daiwa BG30 is fine as well.

YMMV - use what you have already. Why waste the $. It won't help you catch fish any better ..... LOL.

I think if we all learned to reel SLOWER, we would hook up more. Too bad the reel MFG keep making there reels that are 6:1 instead of 4:1 ! Give me a slower reel ANY day.
