I have been going middle of the road with a 6.3.1 but curious if others use a slower or faster retrieve and why? Any difference when fishing around submerged timber vs. rocky bottoms? It's fatigue. Lower ratio is less fatigue.

I work them around cover, stop and go, use the rod to work them, etc. Squarebills are incredibly versatile. http://www.omegacustomtackle.com/ http://www.mrblitz.com/ http://www.netbait.com/ http://www.iovino.com/ http://www.wired2fish.com/ http://www.basszone.com/
