Wtflip u do doin here 🤣 love both of y’all’s vids 🤙🏼

I bought my first bait caster over the summer. Also over the summer (last summer) I got super into bass fishing and that's when I started watching your videos. When I bought my bait caster, I was on a tight budget like a am today (I'm only 13) so I purchased this no name brand off of amazon which has a gear ratio of 6:3:1. It was also tough learning because I'm a lefty. I never understood what the three numbers meant until this video. I have to say, after watching (mostly) you, flair, tackle junky, KTBTV, Jon B and 1rod I catch so many more fish and my knowledge on this sport is forever growing. My point is, your videos have helped me so much just like they have helped thousands and thousands of people, and I thank you for that👍🏼

+Jimmy Womack Thank you Jimmy. I really appreciate that

Great lesson on various types of gear ratios. Simple to understand and how you use each one for the types of lures used. Very helpful.

I love the quality that your videos have become compared to when I first started watching. Professional but very relaxed. Keep up the great work Gene!

best intro I've seen to a fishing show yet Gene fantastic job! and THANK YOU for the bike analogy that cleared up everything for me just starting out using these bait casters

Great Explanation of how each speed applies to types of fishing. Gears are easy to understand. But not always which ones you should be using. Thank you!

good explanation, never fully understood the gear ratio being a newer fisherman. From the beginning what i could understand was 7 was a good all around and i have bought two. with my first with a 7' and second with 7'9" pole and have been semi productive. My whole tackle has been based around your videos. i really appreciate your specific breakdowns of all types of bass fishing!

I like the way you explain things, it took me a long time to understand gear ratios. It wasn't until I started really getting into Bass fishing that gear ratios became very important, thanks for sharing.

I bought a spinning rod & reel combo 2 yrs ago, it was the 1st one I bought since I started fishing again. It's the Shakespeare Catch More series Surf/Pier to be exact. It's 7' long with a 5.2:1 ratio, the sad part is, it's only been off a pier once the rest of the time I'm pond fishing with it. I'm looking into getting another setup n this video helped out with the questions I was gonna be asking the salesman at big box store n he might not even fish so I'm glad u put this video out there

Hey bro, brand new to fishing (haven't caught my first fish yet) and also new to your channel. You're by far the most simplest to understand and quite knowledgeable. Your channel has become my fishing Bible lol. Thanks for the tips and tricks as I've been watching all of your videos thus far. Can't wait to catch that first one though, but I will. All the way in Savannah Georgia!

Dude thank you for making this video, I literally knew nothing about baitcasting gear ratios. The way you broke it down made it very easy to understand.

I'm just getting into fishing and you have BY FAR the best video for a beginner. Well done & thank you.

Easy to grasp explanation of gear ratios. Years of experience has taught me that faster is not always better.. When Carolina rigging for example, you can actually over work the bait with a 7 or 8 speed reel…many of us Tourney guys use a 6.1 or 28 IPT (inches per turn )reel for the Carolina technique. Time on the Water!! Like most things in Bass fishing will help you figure out what works best for you. Rob

I wish i found your channel two years ago. I love your channel and this makes me feel so much better about the reel i have! I researched the reel when shopping but knew nothing about gear ratio. Fail. Anyways, thank you for the informative videos!

I watched this video to help me figure out what gear ratio I want my first baitcaster to be. Thank you for clearly answering that question. 7.1.1 it is. Like you said, I will add on from there. Thank you for a clear decisive answer.

Loving the intro! Thanks for explaining the gear ratios! I am looking around for a deep cranking reel and this helped a lot!

Another great video! Love the intro. Just took all reels out and had to explain to my son last night the differences and told my wife its time to pass down some to 8 yo son to learn with. We need to get you some purple and gold in the videos!!!

Oh man, you've simplified something I've thought was too complicated to consider in my reel choice. Thank You!!

Returning to the fishing world after a 15 year hiatus. I've got a boy thats fascinated by fish and he's almost to that learning age, so now its time for myself to learn so I can teach him lol. Trying to decide on a solid baitcaster for myself (looking at a Shimano SLX) but didn't know what gear ratio to get. This video answered that question in roughly 3 minutes, thank you sir!

Awesome video Gene, they just keep getting better and better!!

Gene you did a great job explaining reel ratio! Nice and simple!

Intro and outro were excellent, Gene. Great video as always.

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to understand this better because I was using the six 8 and 6 backwards! Now I have to find a vid on the rods that is as self-explanatory (hopefully).

Nice explanation, and that intro is kickin'. Just got up close and personal with that new Inception today; I like it; looks like that will be my 1st baitcaster.

Fishing for 65 years and learned more from you in the past year.

Thanks for confirming what I already use my different speed reels for. Almost exactly the same things

Man I love the edits can't wait for a great year

That's one of the best intros I've seen so far. Great job!

+NCbassman97 Thanks man

Great information on the reel gear ratio!!!

Good Explanation Gene! The second Number in the ratio would add to the "Inches Per Turn" category! Example: 6.2:1 or 6.3:1 would be 27"-29" of line being fed back to the Spool, a 6.4:1 or 6.6:1 would add only a few more inches per turn like 28-31" Like you stated its not really necessary to know for people who are starting out! My reel of choice for All around Fishing would be a 6.4:1 or a 6.6:1 Reel! For Top Water, Jigs, T-Rigs....etc a 8.1:1, 8.9:1 or even a 9.2:1 ratio is what id use! Keep the Videos Coming, Your doing a great Job!

I've been thinking about getting my first baitcaster but I don't know how to use one but now that I've watched you're videos I know how to use one

To your point, I have 2 reels with different ratios (6.8 and 6.4) but the IPT is the same. The 6.4 has a larger diameter spool. Both are new Lews.

@shawnbeck2303

4 жыл бұрын

Quantum reels have over sixed spools on them. The Smoke S3 has it. I watched a KVD video on Quantum reels that shows it. Shawn

Great video Gene! I like all your videos keep it up. But, 8:1 gear is low and you would have to work less to pedal up hill. And you would be pedaling your but off and going slow on flat land. But, since the spool is rotating at more revolutions it will retrieve the line faster. 5:1 is taller and you would have a harder time pedaling up hill. But would be moving much faster on flat land. With the fishing reel it will retrieve slower because the spool is spinning slower making less rotations.

I generally stick to a 7-1 and just slow down or speed up how fast I turn the handle depending on the different situation I'm fishing. I also look for higher drag just so I can use the reel for more types of baits/fishing. I also usually swap out the handles to a little longer handle for leverage for use for crank boats or drop shorting to pull them out of the vegetation. I generally make my reels usable for pretty much any situation so I if I only have one with me I don't have to worry about anything it'll just do the job.

Another great video. Thanks for all of your time and knowledge. Best of luck in the 2016 season
