baitcasting reels with a 5 1 gear ratio KastKing Brutus Fishing 7.2:1 Ratio, Left and a Rulon drag system with 15 lbs Baitcasting Reel

So always replace both

Heres where things get technical

Reel Tech Custom broken in the first day, the first cast, first drift

If the water is a little stained, or theres no pressure, and especially if theres a lot of cover, thats when I go to the heavier baitcasting tackle

Pros Highest rated gear ratio at 4:1:1 3 models (sizes) with line weights:8#, 10# or 12# Rotating tungsten carbide line pickup pin to reduce line twists Ultra-smooth, multi-disc drag Very high line capacity Cons Low bearing count (1 bearing) Line pin may cause line twists No spare spool This reel has a lot of history and experience as it has likely been around longer than you have as its been in production since 1954

The only catch to it is you have to pay attention to the settings
