Daiwa Saltiga Blast 4500 w/30-50 lb. braid is what i use for tuna, i got it from japan last year i'm not sure if the american versions are the same or not. other high end spinners are the shimano stellas 8000-20000 sizes, daiwa saltigas 4500-600 sizes,and shimano spheros reels in sizes from 8000-14000. you could also use a van staal in a 250 or 300 size. i'd say high speed is anything that you can rip a lure across the surface with without having to hold your rod way above your head. all of the reels hold a minimum of 250-300 yards of 50 lb. braid, and the largest of the bunch hold about 500 yards of 65 lb. braid, i think.
