Am I the only one who would assume a 6 speed is fine for medium to deep cranks??? I personally use a 7 and its fine occasionally to quite often. Above 7 would push it, but a 6 should be fine. The earlier mentioned Zillion TWS 5.5 is a good one because it's fast for a 5, with a big wide spool it recovers a little over 24 inches; most 6's are around 26 IPT.

I use the Zillion TWS 6.3 for the Fat Free Shad, 6XD, not so much for the 8XD or 10XD. The 6.3 is great for a medium diver.

I'm using the Conquest 101 5.2:1 23" retrieve.

The only time I prefer a faster cranking reel is for lipless cranks.

I use 6.3:1 for all my cranking except deep.

It's no showroom rod. This is from my Instagram page. There is a slight filter to it. It's pink thread on the rod, spiral wrapped with a Tatula flipping rod handle inserted into the butt to make it 2 piece.

Won't let me attach. My file is 105KB and the max allowed is 300KB

Abu Revo3 SX-L(IVCB 4 conversion, with 4.6:1 Toro Winch gears) for medium. And Lews BB2 lefty with BPS Pro qualifier 4.7:1 gears for deep. OG ZLN CC as a back up with HLC spool.

Picked up a TDZ100ML and could use the Zillion HLC spool. Stuffed in CVZ203L 5.1:1 gearing, Hopefully trying this weekend.

What do you mean cvz 203 5:1 gearing stuffed?

Just managed to get brand new old stock Ryoga 1016 (6.3:1) for medium crank.

With minor mods the cvz 203 left hand 5.1:1 gears fit the td z.
