Reply With QuoteCould you tell us what the make and model of the 3 reels in question are?
Hi, Before i start Im fairly new to Fishing in Australian/Victorian waters!
I have been looking on e bay at a few different game fishing reels but im a little confused about the different gear ratios,the 3 i have been looking at all have different gear ratios which are as follows. I actually bought a cheap game reel before (fairly small but not sure of ratio) and it seemed to take forever to wind in compared to a spinning kind of reel...
Ideally what im looking for is one that will wind in a lot faster so could you possibly explain to me a little about the differences in the ones i been looking at please...ie,what one would wind in the fastest
I plan to fish in about 30 metres of water for Snapper etc and i also plan to fish of a oil rig i work on which is about 30 metres before i even touch the water so im guessing it be about 60 metres from deck to sea bed...Thank you in advance for your help!

Gear Ratio 3,1:1.
Ratio 3:8.1
Gear ratio 3.4:1

I honestly think you would be better off with a Shimano Baitrunner 6500(spin reel) for snapper, but if you must have an overhead, a TLD 20 would do the job.
You can get either reel for under $200. and both have a faster gear ratio than the reels you are looking at and also hold plenty of line.
