I've been looking for a good low profile reel to replace an old round reel I have but I need a slower retreive speed because I throw Vibrashocks only on this rod and I tried throwing them on a 6.xx and it was more work than burning a trap with the 5.xx ratio.  I've noticed that nobody makes a good slower retrieve speed reel in the $100 price range that isn't round!   ~xyz  The reel is fine but I have CT so I can't grip the round style reels at all anymore.

i like the kvd sig quantums they come in a 5.xx:1 on sale now for $79, as a matter of fact the 5 ratio is the only ones i could find at the store the other day

Shimano Citica's are available here for $104 or Delos, one of UB sponsors had them for $100 a little while back. You might want to check with them.

I'd consider that if they made the 100DSV in a 5.xx ratio but I think the 100 only comes in the 6.3 ratio.  If the Revo S or SX came in that ratio I'd be all over that...I forgot to mention that size and weight is an issue.  The Rick Clunn reels are also available in a 5 ratio but they're just barely lighter than the Accurist and it's too heavy for this rod.  The rod this is going on is very light and very sensitive.

Check with Mike, I believe that you can now get a gear change for the 100 to a 5:1 from the 6.3:1  ;)
