Crankbait Reel
Crankbait Reel
Looking for a reel to replace my shimano chronarch mgl for shallow to mid depth crankbaits, old reels or new reels, any price just looking for ideas.
Re: Crankbait Reel
The Steez A TW has a CC version for cranking. The regular 6 ratio is a monster anyway. Either would be great. Bantam MGL would be a great option as well.
Re: Crankbait Reel
Tatula Elite 6:3:1.

That steez a does look nice I might have to go with that one. I’ve had the Bantam it was pretty sweet but I sold it and got the new metanium.

Re: Crankbait Reel
What are the weight ranges of the baits? What's your ideal IPT?
Re: Crankbait Reel
1/4 would be the smallest crank I would throw. I like something in the 6ish ratio.
Re: Crankbait Reel
Nothing bigger than 3/4 as well.
Re: Crankbait Reel
I think the Steez A fits the bill really well. The stock spool will handle 1/4 to 3/4 well and there's compatible SV spools if you need to throw lighter weights.

Re: Crankbait Reel
An OG Conquest 50/1 would be a super fun reel. The DC equivalent is definitely worth a look as well.

Calcutta Conquest
Re: Crankbait Reel
I’ve never had a round reel, might have to give one a try. The conquest are awesome looking reels.
Re: Crankbait Reel
Ryoga 5.4:1 , is another round reel option.
Re: Crankbait Reel
Conquest or bantam mgl.
Both are super smooth.

Re: Crankbait Reel
I have an opportunity to buy a steez a for 300 right now in the 6 ratio, thinking about going for it.

Re: Crankbait Reel
Why not the metanium? Should be fine for cranking with the brass gears. I have one on order that I plan to use on a javelin for cranking.
