The new sx and stx due this fall will have optional 8.1/1 gear ratio!
LOL.....and the year following will be a push-button auto-retreive. 2-speed will probably cross someone's mind. The higher gear is nice for a fish running at you, but the trade-off for that is less cranking power for a fish that isn't.

I always get a kick out of that "cranking power" thing. That's what the rod is for .......... at least that is what I told number 2 son after he had broken off both the reel paddles on one of my reels while "hauling in" a halibut and I had to cut the line..... some people's kids.....

Why would you use a reel with a paddle handle for halibut fishing?

I agree Hankster, plus over 50 years I can count on one hand the fish that won a run right at me. If the fish is smart enough to pull that trick, then maybe they deserve to win! I think the fish on the lewis must be smarter!
