I got a Newell 322-M. A much slower retrieve than most Newell reels. What do/did people use it for ?

F designated 5:1
M designated the reel as 4:1

this being said, depending on the reel Diameter & **YOUR STYLE** of strokin', sometimes a 4:1 is preferred.

can you say, "Short Pump"?

That Newell article was great. Learned a lot. Had to check my 332's to see what they were. Black one was a no letter series and the purple is the S series. Both 5:1

Also learned that the 500 series is popular with guys in Hawaii who use them to fish Ulua from shore. Found that particularly interesting as I just sold five 533-5.5's to a guy from Hawaii to use for shore fishing....
