7.1 for jerkbaits? Are we serious now?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

My rod works the jerkbait, the reel just picks up line so I like 7.1:1 because it is easier to keep up when ripping fast. It is the most fatiguing way to fish when you have carpel tunnel like me and a fast reel helps with fatigue in this instance.

Used the 7.1 Zillion today for the jerkbait. It was interesting.
