Crankbait Reel Recommendations

[Chubminnow]

They have a 7:1 ratio out now that is good for cranking...if money is an object I'd go with the 6.3:1 if I were you. I have 6.3's and they pretty much serve the purpose for just about all the fishing I do, whether it be crank baits, spinner's, spoons or what ever. Some of the tournament guys might disagree with me on this though...Good luck!

Bass Pro Shops has a David Fritts 4.3:1 model out for about $50..It is smooth casting and very well put together....I would recommend a 4.3 or 5:1 ratio due to the bait staying in the strike zone longer on a slower speed reel...Also reeling a slower reel all day will cause less fatigue on the fisherman...I throw an old lew's and the new BPS David Fritts...I throw everything from a dd22 to a shallow runner with these...Both good reeels with medium price ranges...
