The
: Stopping Power Meets Precision
When big fish enter the ring and the winner takes all, the
is your definitive advantage. Engineered as our highest-performing saltwater reel to date, the
Ratio III
is built for species that demand high drag strength and long, explosive runs. With a carbon-stainless drag system featuring 16 precision-engineered contact surfaces—double that of the Hydros—it delivers consistent, smooth pressure from the first strike to the final net.
Elite Performance Features
- Fully Sealed Carbon-Stainless Drag: A completely enclosed system with multifaceted O-ring and V-ring protection keeps out salt, sand, and debris even when dunked.
- Zero Startup Inertia: Instant-engage technology ensures immediate, smooth line control to protect your tippet from snapping during sudden surges.
- Massive Stopping Power: Delivers up to 16 lbs of smooth drag pressure, giving you the authority to turn powerful bonefish, pike, or inshore predators.
- Oversized Indexed Drag Knob: A large-diameter dial designed for fumble-free, micro-adjustments in the heat of battle.
- Strength-to-Weight Optimization: Machined from Type II anodized aluminum to be lighter than previous heavy-duty models while maintaining extreme structural integrity.
- Oversized Shaft (5/16"): Combined with an integrated line guard for maximum reliability under heavy loads.

Pro Tip for Your Customers
The "Saltwater Rinse" Routine: While the RATIO'S drag is fully sealed with redundant O-ring protection, salt can still crystallize on the external Type II anodized surfaces and handle. After every saltwater outing, rinse your reel thoroughly in fresh water. This keeps the oversized drag knob and machined handle moving with the buttery smoothness you need when a high-speed fish is on the line
