I gave up on my baitcaster at night. I was using a spinning reel and I'm not sure what the ratio is on it.

For trolling I'm actually looking at dropping even lower than 5.3:1 to 4.0:1 on my baitcasters. My girlfriend was having a heck of a time pulling in the stripers on them. Switching to the one knob power handle helps. I've been told if you are pulling umbrella rigs you definately want the 4.0:1.
