The gear ratio on a fly fishing reel refers to the number of times the spool revolves around the reel's axis with each turn of the handle. This number can have an impact on the speed and efficiency of line retrieval. A higher gear ratio retrieves line more quickly, while a lower gear ratio provides more power for fighting larger fish.
