Looking for an Avet MXJ! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

about gear ratios and line retrieved per crank...

the higher the gear ratio, the faster line is retrieved but...

what about the diameter of the spool? larger diameters = faster retrieve??

I got a Calcutta 400 (5.0:1) and it only gets 24 inches/crank but the diameter is real small

The Torium has a gear ratio at 6.2:1, which is not that much more than the Calcutta, but does have a large diamter and it retrieves at 46"/crank

with the narrow and large diameter of the MXJ at 5.8:1, my guess is a retirieve near 40 or more but Avet's doesnt give those specs...
