Just curious what gear ratio everyone is using with square bills and there favorite rod to throw them.

Thanks

I use a Shimano Curado E5 (5:1). 6'10 Falcon rod MH

6.4.1 Lews Super Duty and a 7'3" Power Tackle Glass cranking rod

Quantum KVD 7' Medium rod, Lew's 6.4-1 Speed Spool Pro, with 12lbs Mean Green copolymer.

I use one of my 8' custom rods, but Jason Romero is building me a rod for square bills as well at Bayou Kustom Rods, and yes, I am affiliated with him, but you get what you pay for in custom rods. I also use the Curado, but mine is a B5 so 5.1:1 ratio. I also have a 200 SF that I use if they want it faster, on another custom built 8' rod. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

been throwing square bills and coffin bills for over a decade.

normally any rod that is a med heavy is fine as long as it has a little give in the tip, you don't want to pull that crank out of their mouth...i learned that after loosing a fish 10+ pounds...i like to use a 5:1 gear ratio reel but a 6:3:1 is just fine.

I throw square bills a lot and I've found and awesome set up its a Lews reel 6:4:1 on a Irod stone cold square bill rod

I use all 3 ratios. The 6.4:1 gets most use though. Med to Med/Hvy 7'+

6.3:1 reel, 7ft medium-medium heavy rod, and line depends on cover, water clarity, and how deep you want your bait to run.

7:1,7' mh 20lb mono like big game etc.

6:4:1 revo s on a Denali 7' mh moderate tip rosewood

6.4:1 works good for me. I like a rod I can roll cast underhanded so I use 6'8" medium power, mod-fast action

I've found a M action rod with my speed spool 6:4:1 lets me launch it while proving the right speed
