Re: Deep drop suggestions
Anyone who tells you to use a higher retrieve reel for deep dropping flat out DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! 4:1 with a tall spooled reel is perfect IMO as you still pick up plenty of line and can turn the handle with ease. Some of my smaller reels that I use to deep drop are slightly faster ratio 5.1:1 (jdm saltiga 35N and Ocea Jigger 200NRPG) but i only use them with less weight or for jigging. Personally I like a rod that is softer than most because I fish J hooks.
Dave definitely gives advice based on real world experience on the water and has curated what he has in the shop based on that experience. A lot of videos you see with guys using higher ratio reels may be using what they already had or may have been sold on based on bad advice.

Re: Deep drop suggestions
I don't know if this will matter to you, but on my first tile trip, I borrowed a set up from Mike Garone. It was a Penn 113 reel with an 8' rod ( I don't remember the make of the rod) It was an amazing trip I think I caught 6 tiles to about 15 lbs. we easily limited out the boat. 2 guys were using electric reels, which made that possible. We switched over to tuna and caught an over and under blue fin and a couple of yellow fin. When we got home, I went to talk to Dave, at that time he suggested a Daiwa Saltist 40 reel (very affordable) and I took a class at Jersey Coast on rod building. So I ended up with a 8 foot custom acid wrapped rod with a reel that would hold 600 yards of 50 lb. braid for about $400. I have enjoyed this 4 about 6 years. However, I am now 64 years old and if I go again, I will buy an electric reel.
