There are several variables in determining how many inches of line that a reel will retrieve on each turn. The gear ratio is one, but the spool diameter is also important, and finally the amount of line on the spool. For example, you would have to make many turns of line around a wooden dowel rod to equal one turn around a big pipe.

What's the question?

What's the question?

With the two models listed above are they almost the exact same as far as how fast it picks up the bait? Even though the gear ratios are different.

Diameter of spool, and how the factory specs calculations are realized are possibly two of the variables.
