Location: Aitkin, Blaine, Minnesota | I have several reels that I have tried to use to bulge or burn spinnerbaits. I have been successful with 6600 Abu with 6.3/1 ratio however have not had a reel make it through the rigors of a Muskie Season! I have had 4 of these reels crap out on me in two years. I have tried 400TE's and other big rigs to no avail. Withe the TE I feel like I will burn out using this tactic.
Any advise would be helpful.
Thanks |

| I use a few TE's and love 'em but the ONLY reel I've found that will effectively burn 'tails all season, year in year out is the ABU 7000 series.Bigger and heavier, but the 4.1:1 gear ratio combined with the single power handle make it a winch! The larger spool will also help pick up line faster.Fill 'er up with a good quality line and let 'em fly! Steve |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The higher gear ratio makes the gears 'finer', and more likely to wear out or break. One other tactic would be to use a large diameter spool so the pick up per revolution is better. |

| Abu Garcia C3 7000 is the best reel for burning bucktails and a great all around reel as well. |

| the 7000 is the way to go. grease it up and oil it with hot sauce and your good to go. i love the large single crank handle. this baby is on year 4 with no issues..........good fishing |

| keep it well oiled and use bigger blades on the spinnerbaits |

| No question Garcia 7000 is the way to go. These things are just about bombproof. |
