Hi Josh.
Sorry to hear about your accident and the resulting limited motor skills...![[Image: sad.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/sad.gif)
I used spincast reels when growing up... and "graduated" to baitcasting reels when - at the time - I too needed a faster retrieve ratio in order to burn spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.
Although I now use both spincast and baitcast reels - depending upon the circumstances/techniques - unfortunately, I don't know a solution to your problem.
I've seen some that have a shade over a 4.0 ratio, but nothing that really approaches the 6.0 or higher that's available on a lot of baitcasters... sorry!
I guess if it was me, I'd just make do with what works best for "me". And if that's a spincast, then that's what I'd use. Personally, I use the Zebco Omega (7 bearings) and the Zebco 33 Platinum (5 bearings). Both are quality reels and reasonably priced (~$65 & ~$35 respectively).
Good luck to you!! [
