What is a retrieve ratio and why is it important?

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Danny S. Rhodes

Retrieve ratios are a common term used for baitcasting fishing reels. However it can often be hard and confusing to find out what this means and why its important. As with any sport there is always some lingo that takes a while to understand. This article explains exactly what retrieve ratio's are and why they are important.

When referring to retrieve ratios the number quoted is in relation to the gears on the reel - you will often see something like a 2:1, 6:1, 7:3 ratio quoted. The number on the left is referring to the number of times the spool wraps around the line and the number on the right is per revolution. A revolution is simply one full turn of the handle.

In the examples previously quoted, a 6:1 ratio would mean that the spool wraps around 6 times for one full turn of the handle. This indicates it is a fast reel. In a real world scenario it would mean that you could reel in a fish at the end of your line a lot quicker than some other reels - turn the handle once, and you have already retrieved 6 spools worth of line.

The higher the number on the left compared to the right is usually indicative of a higher quality reel and also means the angler exerts a lot less effort since they simply need to turn the handle less to bring the line back in fully, whether there is a fish attached to the end or not. This is not always the case however as there are a lot of other factors involved in a reels quality outside of the gear ratio, such as drag, levelwinds, smoothness and so on.

A faster moving spool can also be a lot harder to control for beginners. If you are new to using a baitcasting fishing reel then you might want to consider using a reel with a lower retrieve ratio at first so you can get used to the spool speed.

If you cannot control it properly you will only end up with birds nests and other problems and while you are facing downtime because of this, it eats into your game time quite considerably. Remember, you can always upgrade at a later date or even better, why not purchase a spare reel to practice on? This way you are ready to move onto the better kit sooner.
