Never used it but, Ardent makes a flipping specific reel that only holds like 75 or 80 yards of 20# test in a 6.3:1 gear ratio. Also, the Abu Garcia Wench is supposed to be the real deal and I think it is a 5.4:1 ratio but it holds a “normal” amount of line. I have a couple of the other Revo series that I really like. They dont weigh anything and fit my hand well.John
