Hey, I'm relatively new to swimbaiting and have decided on the tranx 300 to take over as my primary swimbait reel. However, I haven't decided on a gear ratio. This reel will throw a wide range of swimbaits from glides, to tt's, to jig hook baits such as the hudd and osprey. This reel will also pull double duty in the inshore salt throwing topwater and ripping plugs. Any response would be appreciated, thanks.
