The cranks and stickbaits I posted pics of all cast long, with a few exceptions, like the Rapala Husky jerks.

If you have a good 6'6" rod, a good reel and the right line (8lb mono, or 15lb Suffix 832 braid) you can chuck these baits a mile.

I can see how the line quality affects casting distance, but how would the reel affect casting distance? What makes a good reel?

Good line lay line on the spool nice and tight not loose.
