## **Key Factors When Choosing a Spinning Reel**
### **1. Size Matters: 2000 vs. 4000**
Spinning reels are categorized by size (e.g., 2000, 3000, 4000), which determines their line capacity and drag power.
– **2000 Series**: Ideal for light to medium freshwater fishing (bass, trout, panfish). Offers a good balance of finesse and power with a lighter frame.
– **4000 Series**: Better suited for heavier freshwater and light saltwater applications (striped bass, redfish, snook). Provides increased line capacity and stronger drag for bigger fish.
### **2. Gear Ratio & Retrieval Speed**
The gear ratio indicates how many times the spool rotates per handle turn.
– **5.2:1 to 6.2:1** (Moderate to Fast) – Best for versatility, allowing quick retrieval when needed. The **KyleBooker reels** feature a smooth **6.2:1 gear ratio**, perfect for both slow presentations and fast retrieves.
