Cranking It Up with Abu Garcia's Orra Winch

Introduction: Low speed reels (with retrieve ratios below 6.0:1) are becoming harder to find with each passing season. Once coveted for moving bait applications as a way to keep your bait in the strike zone for a longer period of time, they've simply fallen behind as manufacturers push towards reels with 8 and even 9 spool revolutions per turn of the handle. My personal go-to, low profile cranking reel over the last few years has been Abu Garcia's Revo Winch. But this reel retails for $199.99 - a price while not out of the realm of affordability is still beyond the budget of many crankbait enthusiasts. Abu recognizes this obstacle and has chosen to address it head on with their new, $99 Orra Winch - another counterpart to an established Revo classic.
