I've been a shimano guy for ever, but am looking for a low speed reel in a LEFT handed model.

Seems like everyone is making a 6.4:1 and maybe a 5:1. Anyone know of specific models that are lower?

Daiwa's got some lower than 5:1....think the Revo Toro winch is pretty low too.

In the past I have used the Zillion cranker that is a 4 something, but I sure couldn't tell the Revo winch was any faster. The winch is built solid and will last a long time, that's what I prefer for low gear ratio applications.

Old school Abu Garcia red 4500 was like 3.8 wasn't it?

The 5500 was the high speed reel of its time with 5.3 ratio I think.

I think you can still get a Morrum that's 3.8??? But they ain't cheap!!

You can get a 201 Cardiff in 5.8:1

I use two older 101 Cardiff's (no longer made) for my cranking.

The Chronarch 201E5 comes in a 5.5:1.

My favorite is the Daiwa Zillion Crazy Cranker at 4.9:1.

Guess I need to find some guts to one of the old 3.8:1 Greenie Curados. I have about 8 of those that I could swap the internals out to convert one.
