A reel for every technique
There are many different lure fishing techniques. For each of them, there's an optimal rod and reel.
Technique and target fish determine the choice of reel, which will be heavier or lighter, more or less voluminous and with a ratio adapted to the technique.
Typically, fast animation fishing goes hand in hand with a fast ratio and heavy fishing requiring towing preferably uses a slow ratio, which has more torque and retrieve power.
