Location: WI | Abu Reel question....
Can I change the gears from a high-gear ratio to a low-gear ratio? I think the Abu I have is 6.1 or 6.2:1. I'd like to get it somewhere in the 4.2:1 area...if at all possible?? Just trying to save some dough....don't want to buy a whole new reel if I don't have to...Thanks.

If it has 2 slots U can go down to a 3:8:1 gear or 5:1:1 gear. If your pinion gear has 4 slots then you can only go down to a 5:1:1 gear. |
