7.3:1 retrieve ratio—picks up 32" of line with every crank
How would these be for a DCG setup?

Terrible!

It's got a tiny spool, so even a short cast with 80lb braid would virtually empty it, and with the spool so empty you're not going to see anything like 32" retrieve speed.

Then of course the gears would probably strip from the stress of pulling a DCG and the whole reel would be a basket case inside of a week.

I'm sure it would be a great speckled trout reel, but they don't even get as big as suckers.

Also it's 7.3:1 gear ratio and it main gears are maybe 30mm tall, you would never be able to turn the handle of that reel with a DCG.
