Awesome! Thanks, that clears it up a bunch!
What do y'all think about this new Abu reel? 7.1:1 gear ratio

I like the look of it too. the ratio seems like it would have a place for those cockahoes and swim baits. Sometimes I'm reeling in and my bait is not swimming like it should cause i'm not reeling fast enough but thought I was.
