A reel is a reel. Just note that spey and switch lines are considerably bigger than standard lines. If you have a 5wt switch or spey, you'd likely want a 7 or 8wt size reel. It's pretty common for guys to use their larger saltwater reels on their speys. A bit bigger and heavier reel helps balance the long rods as well that are a bit tip-heavy without a bit of counterbalance.
-- Before you buy anything tho, its usually a good idea to use what you have. Test the waters before you take the plunge. If you can fit a 5wt switch line with 30yds of 20lb backing on a 5wt reel, go for it. The smallies and shad are a blast on rods that size.
