1500-2500 size reels ...Tierra , TD Advantage or Sol .... depending on your budget ( I like smaller 1500 & 2000 size reels) 6lb braid is plenty ..... & a Shimano T Curve 701 ..... This would be a pretty good set up. ( I have a Caldia ... not Kix & the T Curve .... It handles the typical 50mm poppers really well .... 30mm River2sea not so well ........ So I drop down to a 1500 Certate 4lb braid on a T Curve 702XL
Hope this helps

PS ... If you have the $ .... A mate just picked up a new Luvias 2000 ..... very smick& light too
