I have two REVO Beasts. A 40 in 7.3.1 and a 50 in 6.1. I also have a Calcutta 400B.

I need one to do the following:

Heavy Gliders, Jerk Baits, UP and Downs like Suick, etc.

I need one to do the following:

Heavy Rubber, Cranks of all sizes and Bucktails including the occasional double 10.

Which reel do I use for which? (I have appropriate rods for each use but need to know how to pair up the reels. I will use the one I don't choose for a spare.)

Thanks in advance for your help.

a lot is personal preference and how much cranking force your comfortable with and how long you fish.

If you are picking up line, faster high gear is better. If you are straight cranking, lower gear is more comfortable.

I like a 6 ish ratio with a power handle as an all rounder.

I know that doesnt exactly answer your questions, but i really feel like there is no real right one. Its pretty easy to swap reels and handles till you find what works best.
