If you don't have a 5:1 real slower... Get it down deep and use sweeping motion with your rod by stopping and starting.

Lew's BB1 on a Hook Spit custom 10XD rod!
It's the only rod I've thrown that is perfectly designed for those huge cranks.

Dont get stuck on the slow cranking reels all the time. Sometimes a faster retrieve is what they are after. Lots of people use a 6 ratio as its easier to speed up than a 5 ratio and easier to slow down than a 7 ratio.

Just pull it with rod and reel up slack if your highspeed gets too tough.

6.4 is what I use. No big issue.

Get you a new Lews BB2 6:4.1. This real has a wider and deeper spool and holds 190 yds. of 12lb. line. The BB1 holds 160 yds of 12lb. line. The 6:4.1 allows you you to pull it down quicker and then slow down and speed up the retreive.
