Spinning reel choice

[papajoe222]

I'm looking to purchase a spinning reel to use for drop shotting and shakey head fishing and have noticed reels with basically the same gear ratio having a big variance in IPT (inches per turn of the handle).  For those techniques, I was thinking higher IPT would be better as bass will frequently head for deeper water and that's where I normally position my boat. Opinions?

High ipt is handy when dropshotting and a smallie rockets toward the surface.
