I would go the Crazy Cranker with the 4.9 gear ratio as it's easy to wind fast then it is to go slow..

Hi Shin ,

I have a HL ( 6.3 left hand ) which suit my topwater fishing , if occasion call for spinner blade/spoon/buzz baits , I can always reel a little faster . When I bought my HL , the lower gear ratio was not available then but come to think of it , I wud still buy the HL as the middle of the road choise . I am happy with my Zillion HL .

When i was shopping for one of these, I asked another member who has both, he reckoned the 7:1 was too fast for working barra lures properly so as I was intending it for twitching lures i went with the 6.3:1 model.
Happy with it. the 4.9:1 model wasn't available at the time, I may have considered it but would probably have gone with the 6.3 anyway.
Cheers, roo.
