I would suppose how much current one is fishing in as to what ratio you may want. I do know for trout slow is the way to go. I have used both slow and high speed ratio at Normandy with success. I have the Presso Limited on the rod with some 2.3# test ester...and that is what I will use when I find the Gills on bed or stacked somewhere. I am hoping to hit up VFW tomorrow...man that's a long drive....my other spots are blown out so it is there or nothing really. Changed out the #8 Saq Sas barbless hooks on 3 of the 1.2 gram spoons to a #8 barbed hook. Did so without incident but for an old man with fumbly fingers I can see that is an accident waiting to happen......LOL.
