The Ratio Reel is your go-to when big fish enter the ring and the winner takes all. The smallest in the lineup, the Ratio III is designed for bonefish, pike, and inshore saltwater anglers who want lightweight durability and progressive stopping power in a compact reel. The carbon-stainless drag system has precision-engineered surfaces that deliver up to 16 lbs. of smooth, consistent pressure with zero startup inertia. In the heat of battle, the oversized indexed drag knob lets you make micro-adjustments without fumbling. Built to withstand brutal saltwater abuse, the Ratio is fully sealed to keep out salt and sand. Looking for a big-game reel that won't quit? Here it is.
