After a incident in Canada, I need to buy a replacement reel. The reel I lost was an Abu Garcia NaCl 60 HS, and I really liked it. I'm looking at the Diawa Lexa 400's but I can't decide on which gear ratio to get. I generally throw smaller sized bucktails and topwater, but occasionally through jerkbaits and crankbaits. Do I the 6.3:1 like my NaCl or go with the 5.4:1? Or do I go with a completely differerent reel altogether. This reel has to do it all, as I can only justify one.

If you are going with the Lexa, I'd get the high speed. If you wanted to stick with Abu, get the beast from Reed's. There is a link to a great deal on them in the same forum on here. I like my beast more than any other reel I've had and I've had quite a few.

What Kirby said. Heck of a deal. If not the Beast, get a Toro S, will do what you need with zero issues.
