  • hey would a 5.4 gear ratio be fast enough for grinding the swimbaits like this? thanks for the info guys and keep up the nice work

  • @badbass94 I prefer a 6.2:1 or faster baitcasting reel for fast winding swimbaits. A 5.4:1 reel might work if you have super human winding powers!

  • @thebassboyz A 5:4:1 will make it easier to crank, don't know what he is talking about. Teh lower the gear ratio the more torque you'll have.

  • @FreshwaterAngling Torque is important once a hooked fish settles into the fight, That being said, often with Calico Bass, you need to move your bait extremely fast to elicit a response. With a 5.4:1 reel, you really cant do so. Also, Calico Bass often run towards the boat when hooked, and I have seen quite a few big fish lost because anglers couldnt keep up with a hooked fish. I honestly believe speed is essential, and most professional saltwater anglers will echo that opinion.

  • Reel type? Are you using Curados?

  • @DavidC5771 Yes, we are using 300E, 300EJ, and 200E7 Curados in this video

  • @thebassboyz 5:4:1 can be fast enough

  • your armpits sweat alot

  • @thebassboyz thanks i know you said your using a 300 and 200 size curado, but for calico bass fishing in general what size do you prefer.
