7.0:1 reel what to do with it? 2025
jbo225 reply :
My brother gave me a 7.0:1 reel over the weekend what are some techniques that could be used with that gear ratio?
ratherbfishin1 reply :
That's a very versatile speed. You can do pretty much anything with it. You might want a slightly lower speed for things like crankbaits but you could make it work.
Largies4Life reply :
More like what can't be used with that gear ratio! Probably the most universal gear ratio out there for most applications. For me, I like the 7:1 gear ratio for jigs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, etc. I would use it for most moving baits until you get to cranking and jerkbaits, then I would change to a lower gear ratio.

So pretty much anything other than treble hooked lures

pretty much anything other than things you reel straight in at a slow/moderate speed.
MickD reply :
Don't worry about the ratio, just fish it. Look at your lures in the water for a while to see if they are going the speed you want, then either slow down or speed up if necessary.
Joshua van Wyk reply :
Everything.
Jig Man reply :
You can do anything with it. Only my reels for A rigs are slower than that.

Depends on what you need it for, we need more information. For an all around rod probably 7ft MH/Fast
MickD reply :
With what we know about what you want to do any answer would be a WAG.
Log Catcher reply :
I would use it for Texas rig soft plastics and jigs. I prefer a slower speed reel for everything else.
lmbfisherman reply :
No limit, essentially everything. I even crankbait once in awhile with one but only for shallow running ones.
Gundog reply :
Almost all of my baitcasters are 7 to 1 ratio. Overall its a good ratio for everything including pitching jigs. I throw crankbaits on it as well. Just got to reel a bit slower. Congrats on the new (to you) reel.
Delaware Valley Tackle reply :
The only application where a 7:1 reel might have a mechanical disadvantage would be deep cranking and/or high resistance bait retrieve.
jbo225 reply :
it would be used for t rigs, chatter, spinnerbait, jigs, hallow belly swimbaits,
jbsoonerfan reply :
MH rod
jbo225 reply :
MH/F or MH/MF
jbsoonerfan reply :
I like F, but a lot of people like MF. Personal preference.

Why not treble hook lures?

MassYak85 reply :
Honestly, probably anything other than swimbaits or cranking (excluding squarebills or lipless which can be burned effectively).

I guess I could throw lipless to rip it
WRB reply :
Without knowing the reel type and model number or size you can't evaluate what it can be used for. The one statement mentioned was you can't use it for treble hooks has nothing to do with ratio or IPT, the majority of bass lures have treble hooks, only lures like jigs, spinnerbaits and buzz baits don't. Soft plastics that you rig have single hooks.

No reason to not use it with trebles.
