The Power Transmission often includes a Gear Ratio or Mechanical Advantage. A Gear Ratio can increase the output torque or output speed of a mechanism, but not both. With a given power source you can either achieve high velocity output or high force/torque output but not both.
Q. How do you calculate gear ratio with multiple gears?
Divide the number of teeth on each “driven” gear by the number of teeth on the “drive” gear for each interlocking set of gears to calculate the intermediate gear ratios. In our example, the intermediate gear ratios are 20/7 = 2.9 and 30/20 = 1.5.
Q. How does gear ratio affect torque?
The gear ratio expresses the ratio of the output torque to the input torque. Thus, we can multiply the torque supplied at the motor shaft (the input) by the gear ratio to find the torque at the wheel axle (the output). Transmitting power through a series of gears can also affect rotational speed.
Q. How do I choose a gear ratio?
The conventional procedure for selecting gear ratios is to pick ratios that run the engine rpm to redline at the end of the medium and longest straights, and pick the lower gear ratios to minimize the rev drop at each shift. This method minimizes the number of shifts per lap./span>
Q. What is the best gear ratio for spinnerbaits?
around 6.3:1 ratio
Q. What gear ratio is best for chatterbait?
7-speed gear ratio
Q. What is the best gear ratio for Baitcasters?
6.4:1
Q. What does the gear ratio on a reel mean?
Gear ratios in reels are simply an expression of how many times the reel spool turns each time you turn the reel handle. So a 6.4:1 ratio means that for every one revolution of the reel handle, the spool turns 6.4 times. The Revo Rocket’s spool revolves 10.1 times for every time you turn the handle./span>
Q. What does FB stand for on Shimano reels?
Alot of Shimanos finish with FA, FB etc. The “F” stands for front drag and the letter after stands for the model of that range. If a reel has an “S” at the end (like 2500S) , it means it is a “shallow spool” model. “HG” at the end, meaning “High Gear” “PG” at the end, meaning “Power Gear”/span>
Q. What line do you use for spinnerbaits?
Unless you are retrieving the line through thick cover, fluorocarbon is generally going to be the best line to use with spinnerbaits. Fluoro strikes a great balance between stretch and visibility. Spinnerbaits are designed to create a lot of drag in the water as you reel them in quickly.
Q. What kind of line do you use for a chatterbait?
fluorocarbon
Q. What is the best line for jerkbaits?
fluorocarbon line
Q. What is 6lb test line good for?
Line Type: Monofilament The 6 Lb test strength is great for targeting multiple species. It’s light enough to pull in a pile of Panfish, and heavy enough to get your Largemouth Bass dockside./span>
Q. What does 10 pound test line mean?
A 10 lbs test line means that the line will take 10 lbs of tension before breaking. To avoid the line breaking under tension, drag would be set about 3 lbs of tension.
Q. What size fish can I catch on 10lb line?
This isn’t always the upper limit, however; sometimes you can catch much larger fish on a 10lb line….What Size Fish Can You Catch on a 10lb Line?
| Species | Average Weight | Average Length |
|---|---|---|
| Small Salmon | 3.5-12lbs | 28-30 inches |
| Walleye | 20lbs | 31 inches |
| Catfish | 2-7lbs | 12-24 inches |
| Panfish | 1-3lbs | 6-7 inches |
Q. What size fish can you catch on 8lb line?
Catfish, bass, panfish, walleye can all be caught on 8lb line. You’ve got some great fishing in your state. Fishing Lake of the Woods is on my bucket list. If you know how to properly set your drag and reel fish in, then you can catch pretty much any fish in Minnesota./span>
Q. What happens if you put too heavy line on a reel?
If you use too light of a line on a heavier rod, you are in much more danger of breaking the line on a fish. If you use too heavy of line on a light rod, you could possibly break the rod. Light power rods could be everything from a more capable trout rod, to a bass drop-shot or a light steelhead rod./span>
Q. What size fish can you catch on 20lb line?
What Pound Test You Should Use for Common Fish
| Line Test (In lb’s) | Fish Type |
|---|---|
| 2-4 lb | Panfish, Trout, Bluegill, Small Mouth Bass |
| 6-12 lb | Large Mouth Bass, Catfish, Walleye, Smaller Salmon |
| 14-20 lb | Catfish, Stripers, Pike/Musky, Carp |
| 8-14 lb | Sea Trout, Flounder, Sea Bass |
Q. What does test line mean fishing?
Pound test, also known as line test, refers to the fishing line’s strength in terms of pounds. For example, if a fishing line is labelled as 20 lb test then this means that the fishing can hold up to 20 lbs without breaking. The concept of pound test or line test is relatively simple.
Q. What color fishing line is best?
green line
Q. What weight of fishing line should I use?
The strength of fishing line is called test and is measured in pounds. It should roughly match the weight of the species you are fishing for (e.g. use line in the 30-pound test for tuna in the 30-pound range). A typical line to cast for trout would be 4-pound test./span>
Q. What is the best all around fishing line?
Best Fishing Line
- Best Overall Fishing Line. SpiderWire Stealth Blue Camo.
- Best for Sneaking Up on Fish. Berkley Vanish.
- Best Bang for Your Buck. Berkley Trilene XL.
- Best for Small Reels. KastKing Superpower Braided.
- Best for Everyday Fishing. Berkley Trilene Big Game.
- A Happy Medium.
- Good for Fresh and Saltwater.
- A Strong Line but Lower Quality.
Q. How often should you change fishing line?
It doesn’t matter which type of fishing line you’re using, whether it be a mono, a fluro, a braid or anything in-between; the quality of line will have an impact on not only it’s use but also how it degrades over time and over the frequency which it is used. You should change your fishing line once or twice a year./span>
Q. Do you need a leader with braided line?
The simple answer is that when you’re using braided line you should use a leader 90% of the time. Braid has a lot of benefits such as casting distance, strength, and sensitivity. That being said, it also isn’t the best to tie to your lure because it’s fairly easy to see in the water.
Q. Is fluorocarbon stronger than braid?
Other benefits include toughness and sensitivity. The line has less stretch than mono but more than braid, offering a fair compromise. However, it tends to be a little stiffer than most monos, although manufacturers are doing a better job of making fluorocarbon lines more manageable.
