And recommendations in the Shimano lineup? 65lbs braid, 1 -1.5 oz weight. It will be a dedicated reel for this setup. I was thinking their heavyset reel to counter balance the long rod and weight.

Bantam on higher end and Tranx 200 for lower price range. XH gearing
Shimano Scorpion Qiuckfire just about the best punching reel I have used. It has the flipping trigger to engage instantly
You will need to go to EBay. The reel is discontinued
Also prefer the burgundy color over the white version
Tranx200 or Bantam but for maximum torque (power) 6:1 gear ratio

Older, rose-colored Shimano Castaic (basically US version of the Scorpion Quickfire). Best pitching reel ever made. Wish only that it was a bit smaller. I have had as many as 10 of them at times. Used to buy them up off of EBay then change out bearings and drag washers.
Get the model I posted. The silver Super Free one that is newer sucks.
i use the antares MDXG for punching
Ultrex 112 ipilot link MDI....Mega Live Targetlock….360 Mega….Helix 12 MSI G4N ……Helix 12 MDI G4N .....Helix 12 MDI G3N .....Helix 12 MSI G2N.....Helix 12 SI G2N...
8’ AA Raptors
Bantam MGL
I do like a heavier by todays standards reel for flipping and punching. Most of the things we think of when we say we want a high performance reel do not matter with these techniques. A heavy drag and durability is what you want.
