[QUOTE="Zman, post: 2873, member: 7"] For shallow cranks, I don't feel gear speed matters as much, and I sometimes like to burn cranks when shallow, so i'll use a 6.3. But for deep cranks, if I use high-speed reels, I will notice fatigue, without a doubt. Slow gear ratio on deep cranks is a must for many. I use an Alphas which has a 5.8, and it's still too fast at least for my DT 16s and Poes Deep cranks. That big lip burrows down at high speeds and all your doing is fighting yourself to slow it down and maintain rod position. I'd also look at inches per turn over gear ratio if you're really looking for an exact number. If you're planning on throwing SBs with the same real, keep in mind SBs generally have 3 speeds - deep slow rolling, high-speed burning and regular. [/QUOTE]
