what is the gear ratio of this reel?

it is not a high-speed real. I don't know the exact ratio but the person at the bait shop who added the line wanted to sell me a high speed reel. I've been completely satisfied with it

I looked it up when I was considering it: http://www.okumafishing.com/product/view/reels/spinning-1/trio Trio-30/30LE: 200/6 (0.22), 160/8 (0.25), 110/10 (0.30) Trio-40: 270/8 (0.25), 190/10 (0.30), 170/12 (0.32) HTH I still love this reel.

I have never used the reel you mentioned. When I bought my reel, I was aware of the quality of Penn reels and wanted a line counter to be more accurate to get to the depths needed to be where the fish have been located on the sonar. I matched it with an Ugly Stick medium heavy at 6'8". I have had more bites and caught more fish with this combination than ever before. The "feel" of the Ugly Stick and the ability to get to the right depth for my use was incredible. The reel fit my needs for salmon fishing, mainly off charter boats at Westport, Washington. Roger

I purchased the combo set, which included the reel. Very creditors used with proper weights and jigs

well besides the cost being almost double, the gear ratio is 4:3:1 on the 320 and 3:2:1 on the 209.line retrieve is 25" on the 320 while 19" on the 209 and the max drag on the 320 is 12 and 10 on the 209. hope this helps.

Hey Daniel, that is kind of odd. When I purchased it I thinki remember seeing 300 on the reel as well. However the description and gear ratio is that of the 300 pro. This is something I would verify with amazon in order to insure you get the product you are intending to buy. Sorry I couldn't help :(

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish ! Keith S.

The reel is for 7-9 wt line. I don't know specifically how much it weighs, but final weight will depend a lot on the line and backing you use. I do know that with an 150 ft of dacron backing and a sink-tip line, it is light enough to move the balance point of the rod forward somewhat compared to my son's metal reel.

Get a light, freshwater reel. The Shimano FX Spinning Reel looks like a good affordable option, but I can't say from personal experience. Shimano FX1000FB Spinning Reel - 8 lb./240 yds

40lb power pro is exactly what I have on mine(fierce 4000). I bought the 150yd spool and filled the reel. excellent combination.

I can not address your question properly, but, I use this reel for steelhead and salmon fishing in the Pacific Northwest, rivers and bays. I use 20 pound braided and I have not been spooled yet.

I would have thought it held allot more line, than is stated, because it is a freakishly large reel! It is not stated, but I am sure this the box is quoted as standard Monofilament Line. & FYI: Gear Ratio is 4.9:1Boca PTs 80 - Line Capacity is: 420 Yards / 17 lb. test, 330 yds / 20 lb., 265 yds. / 25 lb. So, if you are like me and plan to use braided line as the core line and mono leaders, then you'll get allot more yardage of line on the spool. If you need a reel case, I recommend the size "LARGE" Shimano Neoprene reel cover.

Item model number: CZ-12CS That is what the add says. I caught a 55lb king on mine and many other fish. It is my favorite reel. It has a quick retrieve and a great drag and mine has not rusted like most of my other deep sea reels. I would buy another one.

I choose this reel because I only fish for crappie and bluegill, and this reel has the quick-fire. I use 6lb test line but this reel will hold 2 and 4lb test it will hold 270 feet of 2lb and 140 feet of 4lb also I get the rear drag for more control when I get a bigger fish on. I choose this reel because they no longer make the Solstace 1000rh. I have always use Shimano. I have caught some very large catfish and bass with no problem.

Yes. I have the 1000,2000, and 4000 - they are all configured the same, just size difference. Best reel I own by far.
