RETRIEVAL RATE
 THE 1/4 AND 3/4 HP CONTINUOUS DUTY MOTORS RUN AT 1150 AND 3450 RPM. AT 3450 RPM THE 25:1 GEAR BOX IS TURNING THE SPOOL AT 138 RPM. THE SPOOL WILL TAKE UP 2 FT PER ROTATION (APPROX.) WITH AN EMPTY SPOOL, AND WHEN FULL OF LINE THEY WILL TAKE UP (APPROX.) 3 FT OF LINE PER ROTATION.
138 X 2 FT = 276 FPM
138 X 3 FT = 414 FPM
OPTIONAL 1800 RPM, 1 HP (80 AMP, INTERMITTENT DUTY) MOTORS ARE AVAILABLE WITH A 15:1 GEAR RATIO = 120 RPM ON SPOOL
120 X 2 FT = 240 FPM
120 X 3 FT = 360 FPM
NOTE: KEEP IN MIND THESE NUMBERS ARE 'NO LOAD'. THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT BEING PULLED WILL ADJUST THE SPEED OF RETRIEVAL. THE HEAVIER THE CATCH, THE SLOWER THE SPEED AND THE HIGHER THE AMP DRAW.

Waterman Industries states that customers have caught large fish (500+ Blue fin Tuna) with the regular belt driven 1/4hp reel, but it takes some time to land the fish. Any of the direct drive reels will be able to land these larger fish with greater ease of operation and less time for the landing. Commercial fisherman prefer landing the fish in the boat as soon as possible to preserve the quality of the meat.
 Manufacturers Recommendation for Large Fish:
 The 1 HP Direct Drive reel with either the 50:1 or 60:1 ratio (This will make the retrieval very slow, but will give you the torque to "horse" the fish). It is very important to use the aluminum spool and 2 to 3 spring arms mounted together to prevent them from splitting.
