Location: BLOOMINGTON,IL | I have a big trip coming up with my dad, I am looking to buy a new reel for him to bring in 10's easily. I saw a deal on the beast but which size and gear ratio would you buy to make it an easy retrieve for cowgirls?
Thanks! |

Location: MN | Agree, 4.9 with unbalanced power handle set in second to longest slot is butter. |

| I agree as well. Beast 4.9:1, I use the double power handle but if you want easier to reel then go to one of the power handles. |

Diawa lexa 400 in the power version
X2 and the Diawas are cheaper; almost half price. |
