Whether the 6/7 or the 7/8 the Kispiox is much slower/ softer then the GLX. This is not really a bad thing just a fact. I like pretty traditional actioned rods but the Kispiox is a little to traditional actioned for me. It is not inferior to the GLX just much softer. It will handle tips alright if the are matched to the rod /line grain window.
As to a reel for the 6/7 rod the Tioga 10 standard arbor will work well. It is a bit small for the 7/8 but will work if one chops some running line. The 12 would be better on the 7/8 rod but in my opinion the magnum is to heavy. Not right or wrong just what I've found. Please remember we all have different preceptions as to what the magic stick/reel/line setup is. A little more money but the Lamson Radius 4 will work nicely on either rod with plenty of 30# backing.
What type of line system do you have in mind? These rods work very well with skagit setups or short head spey lines.
