What makes a good Eging reel ?

[lighter]

Hi,



I'm first time poster and haven't experience with squid fishing.



In fact I haven't done with lure fishing before.



So I need some opinions on reels.





What makes a good eging reel?



I always thought any lure fishing require a reel with high gear ratio, like well above 5.0.



However, after a bit of research, found that those common eging reels don't have high gear ratio at all..



eg/

Daiwa Emeraldas 4.8

Daiwa E-Gee with 4.7

Shimano Sephia BB with 5.0





Am I correct to assume that high speed retrieve is not used in eging ?



Sorry for such a novice question but I could not find any obvious answer on the net...





Also what other feature of reel is important ?



Solid drag vs ball bearings vs shallow spool etc...



Thanks for your help.
