I'm happy i could be helpful! Thanks for the view. Check out the description of the video for the blog article and some helpful product links. I will be putting out a couple more bottom fishing videos here soon.
Hey! Great question because there really isn’t a standard when it comes to high vs low speed reels. It’s sort of subjective… I call a low gear anything at or below 5:1.
Thanks for the question! There are a few variables to consider but for a general bottom fishing rod, to pair with one of these reels, you want something with a backbone ( line rating above #40), 6 to 7' in length, and moderate action. I think the moderate action helps with leverage fighting the fish where a fast action will put move stress on the angler. Under 6' makes it too stiff, over 7' makes it hard to handle on the boat landing the fish. Line rating should line up with the # test line you want to use. hope this helps

@@tightlineshightides I know you mentioned low speed for bottom fishing. Are there any benefits from high speed or above 6:1?
