| Anyone use a 7.1.1 Baitcaster for tigers? I will be for throwing mostly bass sized spinnerbaits and maybe a few larger rapalas. I have a 5.4.1 for th bigger stuff. And a couple 6.4.1’s. Just wondering if it would be beneficial to have a faster gear ratio for some stuff? Thanks |

| The important question is what reel model you are using
A size 200 bass reel will not performe the same way as a size 400 muskie reel, even if the ratio is the same.

| I use a revo winch in 5.4.1. And the 7.1.1 I am looking at is a Revo SX. Th tigers in my area tend to go for medium bait’s. I havam some bull dawgs and bigger buck tails but we catch most of our tigers on 1/2 oz spinnwrbaits or 5 1/2” rapalas. My other reels pick up 22” and 26” of line. The 7.1.1 picks up 29”. |

| I would assume that the lower geared reel would be better for harder pulling baits like bladed baits and crankbaits. |

Location: oswego, il | It will be fine for twitching crankbaits and picking up slack line. Some spinnerbaits may cause alot of drag depending on blade size and type. |

| I would not use a revo sx for musky, I did use a revo winch without issue and I did use a revo inshore without issue. The inshore is a 7.1/1 super smooth fast and has a longer handle than the sx, still double paddles but the knobs are farther apart... that and the strength of the handle/reel all togerther is better with the inshore. But for bull reds... |
