48" Reel Retrieve vs 32" Reel Retrieve

[Doug Lewis]

200' Line Out

50 Turns Vs 75 Turns

Math 200' of Line x 12" = 2400"

2400" Divided by 48" = 50
2400" Divided by 32" = 75

Do you Chose 75 turns or 50 Turns to Bring In 200' of Line

It is Foolish to Make 75 Turns vs 50 Turns

I did Not Consider this when I Bought 1st Reels to fish on Lake Erie
Now I will only Buy reels with a Retrieve of 48" or More

Older You Are More This Will Matter vs the Older You Are the More This Will Matter

Never really thought about it. I am 70 and I just reel them in no matter how far out they are. I never counted the cranks.
Only time I complain about it is when a big sheephead takes my Off Shore planner board under the water and it doesn't want to surface.

I have started buying the Shimano Tekota 400 model because of it's faster retrieve rate, but it's only rated for 35" per turn. What models are you seeing that have 48" per turn?

Ok, that makes sense now that I know you are talking about spinning reels. I only use reels with a built in line counter, but maybe it would be worthwhile considering adding a line counter to a spinning reel. I would be lost without a line counter since I troll and use the precision trolling app.

100 Feet of one color Line then 100 Feet of a 2nd color Line then a Third color Line
That is the only way I would count out 200 Feet of Line
You Can Not Beat Simplicity
Good Luck with Line Counters
