Oh and like the other guys said, make sure you understand that inches per crank does not completely correlate to gear ratio. It depends on the reel size and handle length. If you're comparing two similar sized reels, saying the gear ratio will be helpful. But saying gear ratio when comparing an avet LX to a freshwater baitbaster won't help at all. Then you have to look at inches per crank.
