I don't understand your question. Those are the three gear ratios available.

 

Are you asking what a gear ratio is?

Yes sorry, what is the difference in each ratio comparison to other..Thank you.

The higher the ratio the more line per crank the reel picks up. 5.1 is typically a good reel for slow moving baits like a Hudd. 6.3 & 7.1 are better for faster moving baits

So helpful, so lets say a 175 and Baby wake?

I'd go with the 6 or 7 for those baits. Can't go wrong with either of them

[tsteadyslayin]

Yeah i thought so.

[Vedak]

I use a 7.1

[mcm83]

me personally, i'd go with a 5.1:1 or the 6.3:1.

IMO its always easier to speed up than to slow down...

Why you gotta be a dick about it? That's how most people would answer that question.

 

No bueno.

To expand on this answer, the ratio is broken down for revolutions of the spool vs. revolutions of the handle.

 

for example:

6.3:1 tells you that for every 1 revolution of the reel handle, the spool revolves 6.3 times. The more the spool revolves, the more line is gathered. The more line that is gathered, the faster the retrieve speed. Make sense?

I don't think he was being a dick, emotions and sarcasm are difficult to relay over the internet. Young tsteady obviously hasn't mastered that skill, LOL.

Any bait that has a lot of pull to it like a cl8bait baby crankin possum I use a low gear ratio its just easier on the crankin hand. They also have the high speed with a power handle but I have not used one.
