I was comparing ratios on some of my surf spinning reels. Most on average, are around 4.8 -1. How will it affect plugging situations if you stray either lower or higher from this number.

I was looking at the Daiwa Saltiga for instance, and they have a model that is 4.9-1 and another model which is 5.7-1. Since I believe they are made mostly for boat use what is the difference made for and also would a 5.7-1 ration be too fast for plugging from the shore?
Thanks.
