Svivlo Genesis ONE

Description
Choosing gear ratio

Genesis ONE is a baitcasting reel built for power fishing and demanding conditions, where durability and consistent behavior matter most. It’s designed for use in both freshwater and light saltwater environments.

Equipped with the CastGuard™ system, Genesis ONE is designed to behave more consistently as conditions change – reducing the need for constant adjustment when casting heavier lures or fishing in wind and variable conditions.

Well suited for pike, zander, and other larger predator species, Genesis ONE handles crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, and soft plastics with confidence. Its robust construction supports hard pulls and repeated casting over long sessions.

Genesis ONE is available in two gear ratios: 6.3:1 for controlled, methodical retrieves, and 8.1:1 for faster presentations and rapid line pickup, allowing anglers to choose the setup that fits their fishing style and techniques.

⚙️ Gear Ratio Guide: 6.3:1 vs 8.1:1

  • 6.3:1 Gear Ratio – Versatile & Controlled
    • Best for: Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and techniques where slower, more controlled retrieves are ideal.
    • Why choose it: Offers better torque and line control, especially when fighting larger fish or using resistance-heavy lures.
  • 8.1:1 Gear Ratio – Fast & Aggressive
    • Best for: Jigs, soft plastics, topwater, and techniques that require quick line pickup or fast presentations.
    • Why choose it: Ideal for burning lures, flipping/pitching, or quickly reeling in slack line after a strike.

🎯 Quick Tip:

If you’re unsure, go with 6.3 for all-around use. Choose 8.1 if you fish aggressively or want speed for specific techniques.

How much 0.4 mm monofilament is needed to back the spool when you want to have 150 m of braided line?

150 m Braided Line Diameter (mm) Monofilament Backing (0.4 mm) in Meters Monofilament Backing (0.4 mm) in Yards
0.14 105 m 115 yards
0.20 85 m 95 yards
0.205 85 m 90 yards
0.27 55 m 60 yards
0.32 25 m 30 yards
0.36 0 m (practically 2 m) 0 yards (practically 2 yards)
0.40 N/A (reduce to ~124 m of braid) N/A

Note:

  • Material Difference: Braided line and monofilament have different densities and packing efficiencies. Braided line is typically more compact due to its weave, while monofilament might pack less densely, especially if it has memory or stiffness. This can reduce the effective capacity slightly (e.g., by 10–20%).
  • Safety Margin: Anglers often leave a small gap (1–2 mm from the flange) to prevent overfilling and tangles.
  • All numbers are approximate and should not be treated as exact measurements.

Genesis ONE is a size 300+ baitcasting reel built for power fishing and heavier loads, designed to behave consistently across a wide range of lure weights and changing conditions. It supports applications from large predator fishing to lighter freshwater techniques without requiring constant retuning.

CastGuard™ is a patented mechanical system that manages spool behavior throughout the cast rather than relying on static brake settings. By working automatically in the background, it helps reduce the need for adjustment when lure weight, wind, or casting tempo change.
