When you look at reel speed look at the size of the spool the line will be on, the bigger the spool the more line it will bring in on the turn of the handle to the spool...
If you have two reels one with a spool only half the size of the other but both have a speed of 6.1.1 and the line intake of the reel with the smaller spool is 15" per turn of the handle, and the other reel that has the bigger spool takes in 26" of line see where this goes..
In short look at line intake as well as reel speed,[crazy] You can always turn the handle slower to work the bait or lure with a high speed reel but its hard to reel faster with a low speed reel to work the bait or lure faster...
