The Ratio Reel is built for moments when big fish enter the ring and the outcome matters. The carbon-stainless drag system has precision-engineered surfaces that deliver smooth, consistent pressure with zero startup inertia.
In demanding conditions, the oversized indexed drag knob allows for micro-adjustments without fumbling. Built to withstand saltwater abuse, the Ratio’s drag system is fully sealed to keep out salt and sand.
The Ratio is built for anglers who target powerful fish in demanding conditions. The reel has the strength and durability for tarpon, big roosterfish and permit, as well as bluewater battles with tuna and billfish. They are equally adept at moving big trout in heavy water, steelhead in fast flows, or carp hell-bent on leaving town.
