Arig Reel?

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.

I've tried a few reels from 4.9 to 7.3. For the way I fish them..medium to slow, 5-20 feet deep, I have settled on a 6.2:1, Calais 200A. Basically a "medium" speed.

I have been using 6.4:1 on a 3 oz. A-rig and its been fine in 8-10 feet of water. But would like more gear(7's) if the rig was heavier and/or used in shallow water.
