Which ever bearings you go for whether it's abec 5's (normal), 7's(hybrid) or 9's(full ceramic)
You only want your spin speed between say 5 and eight seconds for a fishing reel and between 8 and 12 seconds on the field with the mags on full, any faster than this and you'll have over run problems and probably nest it most times unless your an exceptional caster.
The casting reel I was using on the field ran at 10 secs with mags full on and 2min 50secs fully off and they only had abec 5's in and even then I had some over runs n nests, on the field the court is always set up with the wind behind you so you can gey away with the faster reel plus the casting is different to a fishing style cast.
For fishing I still use 5's but the spin rate is a lot slower as you don't need an ultra fast reel for fishing as you'll never be able to turn them down much as it'll just keep nesting, I've got my fishn reels running at 5secs on full and about a minute or more fully off which is still to fast for fishn really, your far better off havn your reels running at about 8secs with about a full turn of the mags off.
I normally turn my mags completely on then either do one full turn off or 4 clicks (depending which reel I'm using) then set it to 8 secs at that position by doing this it means I can turn the mags on more if needed like in a head wind.
To many fishermen want ultra fast reels which gives you little scope for change, if you can give your best cast with the mags 3/4 or more of the way off but not completely off with the wind behind you thats all you really need and this will give you more scope for alteration in different fishing situations.
I hope this helps,
