Help me pair a reel to Kistler H3 Heavy

[white84z]

I'm trying to decide what reel to pair with my Kistler Helium 3 Heavy X-Fast when it gets here. Going to be spooled with 60lb Sunline Flipping and froggin braid.

Here are my options

Daiwa Alphas - Abec 7's, Carbon Drag, Clicker Conversion, Steez Handle, 6.8:1 gearset

Daiwa Zillion 50th - Bone stock

Daiwa T3 1016 - 90mm handle, 7:1 gears

Once of these 3 is also going on a Megabass X EMTF for a Texas rig and chatterbait rod.

The Daiwa Alphas, primarily because of the clicker conversion

In all seriousness, you have alot of nice options there sir.

I'm leaning towards the Alphas myself, just not sure it's fast enough.

I'm gonna say zillion as well

Zillion also. I have my 50th on a Kistler heavy Argon. Work horse reel on a work horse rod for heavy duty applications.

Zillion of T3. If set up properly the T3 can really sling a bait like a frog a long ways. I have several frog outfits and one of them uses a T3. It works like a champ.

The zillion may be better for the part of frog fishing where your fish comes back dragging 10 lbs of salad with it since the internals are more robust

[white84z]

Well guys. Looks like the Zillion gets it. Rod is a little more tip heavy than I'm used to but otherwise feels great. Can't wait to hit the water this weekend.

Very Nice Get a balance kit from Mudhole, makes the combo a little heavier, but the better balance is worth it.
