One thing to consider when determining retrieve ratios is the spool diameter vs ratio. For example the circumference (complete wrap around spool) is equal to the diameter x pi (3.14). If the diameter of the spool is 3 inches you get a circumference of 9.42 inches, which is on revolution of the spool. If the ratio is 3.7:1, the spool turns 3.7 times per one handle turn. So with one turn of the handle its 3.7 x 9.42 which equals 34.85 inches of retrieve per handle turn. Just because the ratio is low doesnt mean there will be a slow retrieve. Spool size makes a difference as well.
