Re: Reel type
The reel won't make much difference to the distance, the rod, line type and jig weight will however.

Re: Reel type
I use 25lb braid and 20lb leader when squidding. Cast a 3.5 jig 40+ metres.
Braid thickness. Leader knot. Guide type, rod length, rod style, reel and jig size all play a part. That 25lb line is a pe1.2 or 6lb mono equivalent. I fish heavy ground from time to time and would prefer to bend out prongs than to lose jigs.
