I can only listen to so much lisping, so I haven't seen much of their stuff lately, but a faster reel works ok with lipless baits, and unlike with real cranks, can work ok with squarebills, specially if one is moving the baits wholly or mostly with the rod, and using the reel to take up slack. I personally like a 6. something for squarebills, and that or a 7.something for traps.
