Steez SV 8.1:1

Anyone feel like this reel is lacking power on the retrieval of baits

Of course it does. It is 8.1:1. Anything that has high-resistance is going to feel sluggish using that reel.

So I was thinking. ( it’s about to get bangcock dangerous)
I’m not sure of what the fulcrum is to balance speed and power but
I was looking at this sv reel without the Sv spool and trying to get it
To retrieve s/b without it feeling laboriously strained. Any aftermarket part ideas or Tim, is there some magic dust and still keep the same IPT?

That reel has the hybrid brass/aluminum main gear circ. Maybe replace those with solid brass gears in the same speed. But that wont change the amount of torque, as that is a constant based on the math. The diameter of the main gear and gear ratio play a part in that equation, but torque is inversely proportional to speed. As speed (gear ratio) increases, the torque decreases, unfortunately.

Torque is measured; Power is calculated

HP = Torque x RPM ÷ 5252

TORQUE = HP x 5252 ÷ RPM

I had a short gig doing inside sales for a ball bearing and power transmission company. And that concludes the tour of my memory on the subject.

You could put a longer handle on it but then you have to crank a bigger circle for the same amount of IPT.

Correct, the required amount of force is greater when increased speed or RPM are needed. In this case, the RPM are variable, depending on how fast you retrieve. That formula would yield a "freeze-frame of a movie", if you will. That's why it tires you out to reel a high-resistance lure with a high-gear reel. If the main gear was twice the size, you would effectively do half of the work to retrieve the same amount of line. That's why the reel gear boxes have gotten larger over time, to accommodate a larger main gear, in order to make high-speed reels feasible to begin with.

I looked this reel ipt up and it said 26 ipt
Yet the 7.9:1 ipt is 33.2

The Steez 103H is 26 ipt. The 103XH is 34 ipt. The 103H is actually a great reel for resistance baits, up to the 6xd anyway.

I was incorrect about the reel in question
Steez SV 103xs
Is the reel I was referring to. JDM Fishing has it listed as 26ipt which could be wrong. I guess that’s why I like the 5.7:1 TDZ and it’s 24ipt
Most 5.1:1 reels ipt is 21 and I find that rather slow and have been getting the 100M as they come up. I have the Steez SV 103xs and I didnt like the retrieve under load but maybe a longer handle would suffice.
