who makes your favorite baitcaster for crankbaits and what gear ratio do you recomend? i'm starting to move away from an all around combo to lure specific combos.

who makes your favorite baitcaster for crankbaits and what gear ratio do you recomend? i'm starting to move away from an all around combo to lure specific combos. I am in the exact same boat. I have 4 johnny morris reels in three speeds: 5.4, 6.3, and 7.1. I am going to try the 7.1 on my new crankbait rod(skeet reese) this weekend and see how I like it. I may swap the 5.4 on which I bought for jig fishing.

I stick with 6 speed reels on my cranks even deep divers. A lot easier for me to slow it down than to speed up a 5 speed reel.
Revo SX and STX and Orra are what I use.
