5.0:1 or 7.0:1?

Hi!

I'm going to get myself a new baitcaster for my birthday, and I'm pretty set on one of the new Curados. I can't for the life of me figure out if I should go for the E5 or the E7. I fish from a pontoon boat, and at the moment can only bring two rigs out with me. One is my finesse spinning rig, and the other is a baitcaster. So I need the casting rig to be pretty much all purpose for everything that weighs over about a 1/4 ounce. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Tight Lines!

i'd go with the e7. Nothing else it's easier to crank slow than burn a spinnerbait with a 5:1 retrive

Go with the 7:1, 5:1 is way to slow unless your deep diving crankbaits. A good all around ration is the 6.3:1.

I tell all my friends, the only baitcaster is the Curado 200 E7. Best cast,retrieve,drag, and weight than any other reel out there. There is only one choice, especially if you ever plan to steelhead.
