| I don't own any Lexa's, but I would go with the 5 to 1 ratio, especially with the big tails. To maximize your speed, make sure you top out your reel with line. I learned this tip decades ago from Doug Stange using my ABU 7000'S. Kdawg |

Location: SE WISCONSIN | I do not fish for Muskie full time with that said.I have a Lexa 5.1 on a 8"6 mojo it works great for 10's I don't like power handles so I bought a Lexa paddle handle off the swap board I'm looking forward to using it this spring. |

Location: Wisconsin | I have always gone by the rule that 5:1 is more of a power reel used for blades, 6:1 are reels used to pick up slack and used more for pull baits and rubber |

Dont have to listen to me but Id listen to what Pikemaster has to say. He is a reel repair guy and has more LEXAs in for repair then Cabelas has in stock.
Funny thing I wasnt even an Abu fan until I bit the bullet and bought one.
All reels break, perhaps lexa owners just fish harder:-) |

| Looking at buying a Revo Nacl as my primary reel for throwing 6-8" Grammas and #8 bucktails. Already have a 30 Saltist for bigger blades. What gear ratio would be recommended for all purpose and #8 blades. This would be my main reel. |
