Default 6'6" versus 7' and gear ratio

I have only one baitcaster. It is a 6'6" BPS with a Shimano Chronarch. My casting ability is competent but not necessarily proficient. The important thing is that I no longer get the nasty snarls and seem to do exceptionally well working my crankbaits with the baitcaster. I now use my baitcaster for cranks and my spinning gear for plastics (I like the 6'6" size for my spinning rods).

Anyway, here are my questions:

1) Would a 7' baitcaster work better for throwing cranks?

2) Do I want a reel with a lesser gear ratio for the cranks?

I appreciate your anticipated responses!
