it’s a 75 heavy fast action and I’m just not 100% sure what reel to pair it with yet I’m thinking an 8.1.1 gear ratio or somewhere around there .

    Tranx 200 xg if you really want a tough reel. Super similar to a curado k just a little tougher, xg is 8.5.1. I don’t like really small reels for flipping like a lot of guys use, I prefer a bigger reel with a larger handle so you can get more power out of it. Tranx are indestructible, I know not everyone is a Shimano fan but that would be my first choice for a flipping reel.

    Bantam mgl would be a good choice.

    Tough and durable build. It should balance out on that longer rod nicely.

    I have the Bantam and it would be a good reel for this.  It's frame build and weight would be a great advantage with this heavier rod.  Another choice and I have not fished it but if it acts as advertised.....  Daiwa Tatula Elite Flip and Pitch.
