    Looking for a low gear ratio reel for grinding big cranks.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    4:1 ratio range

    Looking to buy or looking for suggestions?

    I have a 3.8:1 old style Green Curado in good condition I would be willing to give up…

    If you are looking for new the best thing going right now is probably the Abu Garcia Revo Winch. I use inches per turn instead of gear ratios since they can be a little misleading. The Winch takes in 20.6″ per turn while a couple of other reels take in 21″. I hope my old Quantum 1310CP holds together until someone comes out with another reel around 15-17″ per turn. I like my cranking reels to be very slow since I tend to reel way too fast.
