baitcast reel gear ratio range Reaction Tackle Baitcasting Fishing Reel- StreamX Edition- 7.5:1 hand retrieve available. Choosing the Right Gear Ratio

I'm particularly partial to the S-waver in the 168 and 200 sizes in "Warden" or "Light Trout" (See our S-Waver Video and S-Waver 200 Video to see why) The S-waver is easy to use and won't break the bank but is by no means your only option

The nine-carrier line provides tight knots and superior handling to allow the lure to perform naturally

Reel is sturdy, yet weighs just 12oz for less hand fatigue

For most right-handed anglers, the handle goes on the left side

I covered topwater in detail earlier in this guide so I wont repeat myself, but if you are heading out on a warm morning between late spring and early fall, tie on a topwater before you try anything else
