I could use some suggestions on a reel to pair with the Megabass Orochi XX Aklys. In cold water months I plan to use this combo for small swimbaits (1 - 1.5 oz, braid to leader), but most of the time I will have a punch rig or heavy jig tied on.
I generally lean towards Daiwa, but it seems like either the Curado K or Bantam MGL could be a good fit here. Bantam MGL is at the top end of my budget.
Reel for Aklys

I’m a Shimano guy, but recently purchased a daisy tatula and I fell in love with it.

Re: Reel for Aklys
Really depends on what gear ratios you prefer. I like my Zillion TWS 9.1 for punching. It wouldnt be my first choice for swimbaits though.
I have thrown all sorts of stuff with the 9.1 and my punch rod in the fall, when the setup doesnt have a use other than throwing heavier lures.
A Bantam in the HG would be nice. Japan Tackle for them for a pretty good price right now.
