Re: Cranking Reel
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.

Re: Cranking Reel
I'm using the Conquest 101 5.2:1 23" retrieve.
The only time I prefer a faster cranking reel is for lipless cranks.

Re: Cranking Reel
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.BRONZEBACK32 wrote:I love my LTG, got any pics of your custom?ccass wrote:12 Antares 5.6 with a custom St Croix Legend Glass

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

and for deep crank bait reel, I am using Ryoga 1016 CC (5.4:1) for deep crank
Hope it helps.WW
