It’s so cool that a professional fisherman can show his tips and tricks! If you’ve ever been to Texas (lake murvaul,lake fork,Rayburn) what’s the best techniques and worms or craws in Texas? Thanks
Another great video, thank you for taking the time to share you knowledge. Watching someone catch fish is fun to watch but learning about how to fish and set things up is more helpful. Keep it up, waiting for the next video!
Thanks Jeffrey! Watching fish catches is way more fun and would get more views, but I want my followers to learn stuff. I wish these kind of videos got more views though😂
I agree that you develope an instinctive cadence fishing a particular reel. Now, there are many gear ratios. Your breakdown is usefull to me in deciding on a 3rd reel I want to add.
I’m a big believer in 6:8:1 I use it for almost everything besides frogging. I will flip with it the reason why is what Gman said you want torque! To turn that fish.
Lews is the brand that put me on the 6.8 ratio! Absolutely my favorite reel ratio. The older Pro G Lews is an absolutely amazing reel! Ran mine for the last several years and it’s been a staple in my fishing!
Andrew, good topic for a video. Thanks. My question is for finesse fishing baits. My spinning reel is a 6.2 i think, well 6 something. But it seems like I should look for a 7 gear ratio based on how u explained some of your bottom baits. What gear ratio do you think i should use on my finesse spinning set up? Ie for ned rig, dropshot, wacky rig stick bait etc
Spinning reels are slightly different in inches per turn. A 6.2 on a spinning reel is really fast in comparison to the old school 5.1. I think you are good.
Upshaw you have definitely answered my question if I should get a 6speed reel. All of my reels 7 speeds and higher but I was thinking about getting a 6speed for my squarebills and some other moving baits. Thank you for this video.
Another technique to consider for high speed is chasing schooling fish, especially on clearwater herring lakes throwing topwater walking baits. What ya think?
I know this video is about gear ratios but I see you have the old custom speed sticks(which I love) and the new ones. Would you be interested in doing a video on the changes they made?
Good information thanks for the video. Even though it was a week too late. I just bought a lews 5.6:1 for 6-10XDs lol. Wish i would have seen this first. Do a "finding fish with electronics" video
You really dont "find" fish. Much easier to find the type of habitat they are using a particular time of year. Find an anomaly in that habitat, and the fish will be there. Never ever seen that fail.
I’m a huge fan of the Custom Speed Stick or Custom Pro Speed Stick in the rod Model “Magnum Hammer”. It’s 7’3” Medium Heavy. Perfect rod for lipless. The reel I use is a 7.5:1 in either the HyperMag or Custom Lite.
Andrew Upshaw Fishing I love the custom speed stick series too. I own like 10 of them. I wish they didn’t discontinue those model. Hyper mag is by far my favorite reel also. I will look into getting them. I have a few more tournaments and I know the lipless crankbait will come into play.
Great video, and explanation of gear speeds. Thank you Andrew. Keep up the great content, and work. Love your channel and thoughts. And most of all your humble but honest opinions, To many out there so videos screaming that their way is the holy grail, biblical on way to fish, and if you doing any other way, your an idiot. Because their Gods. They could learn alot from you! So thanks for just being YOU!
I’ll always just be me. To me, a person has to make a technique/way of doing things their own. No one is right or wrong if it’s working. Thanks for the awesome comment!
@@AndrewUpshawFishing Andrew, could I ask a question? And get your opinion or suggestion? I mainly pond and bank fish. Battling cancer so hard to get out on lake to much, so Spending every day I can, while I can fishing, would like to treat myself with a new rod and reel set up. If you could set up one new Lews baitcasting combo, mainly for pond and bank fishing, what would you get or have? What reel, and gear ratio, and what rod, in what lenght, and action? Your thoughts would be appreciated! thank you!
Man, I’m just not a fan of that quick of a gear ratio. An 8.3:1 is about as fast as I would go. It’s not only about speed, but also the gear size. On a 9.1 reel, the teeth on the gear are tiny and are more susceptible to break with high torque, IE frog fishing and braid.
Great video, thanks for the content. People are starting to realize your a class act. For the people reading this, I have met this man and he never once big timed me,he helped me with a trip to toledo Bend a few years back. not many guys would do that.
Where can I order lews baitcaster combos from I tried lews.com but I cant seem to be able to order from them direct can someone please let me know. Thanx
You can order them from Academy Sports and Dicks Sporting goods, just to name a few. They aren’t selling direct as of yet, but I see that changing in the future.
Im with ya on the speed i use a 7.5.1 for my frogs will im like oh ill get a 8.1.1 to speed up just a little bit yup sold that with in a week and went back to my 7.5 i was working it to fast and not that it was to fast i was just picking to much line up so when i would walk the frog it was tight line and just killed the action
GreatShow!! I grew up around B.A.S.S with my father fishing the tournaments since the early 80's. Im amazed you take the time to make the vids during the event and do a good job narrating so we can actually see what your doing.. Great informative videos & Thank YOU very much!!
Upshaw you have definitely answered my question if I should get a 6speed reel. All of my reels 7 speeds and higher but I was thinking about getting a 6speed for my squarebills and some other moving baits. Thank you for this video.
Good info. Tips should help get the most out of several techniques I enjoy fishing.
That’s awesome!
Your the man big dog
Thanks Brian!

Grew up on Toledo and Rayburn. This time of year a big worm is killer. Did a “Snake in the Grass” video recently. Should watch it!
Andrew Upshaw Fishing ok thanks
Killer break down - Thank you for clearing it up for me!
Your explanation of gear ratios explains my preference for the 5:1 reels fishing in fall and winter on the Missouri River.
Love a 5.1:1
saw your boat and truck today at braums in sand springs. Would’ve said hi but i went to the drive through
That’s good bad! I just ran in to get ice cream for the family.
What's going on is you're the man that puts out videos that really help. Useful tips are great. Thanks!
Thanks Warren. Appreciate it!

G-Man is a smart fella👍
This was a video i defiantly need big help
Glad it helps!
Thank you for breaking everything down. Hope you keep'em coming.
Sure will. Thanks for watching!

@@AndrewUpshawFishing Alright, thanks for your response.
Thank you Andrew for your insight on this topic, it was very informative. Looks like I need to order some reels ASAP :).
There you go!
Great info, greatly appreciate it
And another great video!!!
Thanks Darrell!
Great video man keep up the good work. I really like the BB1 pro 6.4:1 for all my general or normal cranking.
That’s a great reel as well!
Upshaw you have definitely answered my question if I should get a 6speed reel. All of my reels 7 speeds and higher but I was thinking about getting a 6speed for my squarebills and some other moving baits. Thank you for this video.
I have the Lew's American hero in 6.4:1 and another in 7.1:1 should cover all the lures that I use, great video
Thanks Brandon.
Another technique to consider for high speed is chasing schooling fish, especially on clearwater herring lakes throwing topwater walking baits. What ya think?
I know this video is about gear ratios but I see you have the old custom speed sticks(which I love) and the new ones. Would you be interested in doing a video on the changes they made?
I could probably do a review on that.
If you had to choose between 7:1 or 8:1 for froggin which would you grab?
8.1:1
Good information thanks for the video. Even though it was a week too late. I just bought a lews 5.6:1 for 6-10XDs lol. Wish i would have seen this first. Do a "finding fish with electronics" video
Darn! That 5.6:1 will work well. Just might have to crank really fast with it!
You really dont "find" fish. Much easier to find the type of habitat they are using a particular time of year. Find an anomaly in that habitat, and the fish will be there. Never ever seen that fail.
Joe makes a really good point. I’m more likely to find cover, than actually fish.
Do you think 36 inches per turn is too fast for flipping flooded brush and tossing frogs. And occasionally throwing a spinner bait
What’s your lews lipless crankbait rod and reel set up? I’m in the market for one.
I’m a huge fan of the Custom Speed Stick or Custom Pro Speed Stick in the rod Model “Magnum Hammer”. It’s 7’3” Medium Heavy. Perfect rod for lipless. The reel I use is a 7.5:1 in either the HyperMag or Custom Lite.

Is the hypermag worth the money I have tournament pro and 3 bb1 and lfs and the crush and mb
It’s far and beyond my favorite Lew’s reel.
Hey I was looking into buying me a 9-0-1 gear baitcaster for frog fishing what do you think of this or would you go with a different gear size
Man, I’m just not a fan of that quick of a gear ratio. An 8.3:1 is about as fast as I would go. It’s not only about speed, but also the gear size. On a 9.1 reel, the teeth on the gear are tiny and are more susceptible to break with high torque, IE frog fishing and braid.
