I like the highest, fastest you can get.
you can always reel slow, but sometimes not fast enough. (IMO)
7 to 1

Topwaters/spoons/crankbaits I like the standard 6.4:1 ratio. 7:1 for softplastics

Im thinking about buyinga new curado. My old one is a 6.2 i believe, so im thinking a 6.2 for all around use. Ill mostly be using soft plastic and topwaters with occasional spoon
