The Lew's MACH 2 Speed Spool SLP 7 ft MH Baitcast Rod and Reel Combo has a 7.5:1 gear ratio and a 1-piece IM8 graphite blank.

I can't guarantee that these are the magical lures that will get you big bass and lots of bass, but I can guarantee you that they have worked tremendously for me and I bet they will for you as well.

Theres no hesitation or surging when the fish makes a run, so I consider this reel a great choice for treble-hooked lures
