Would you consider 7.1:1 a high enough gear ratio?


That'll work

Also, for the drag on the reel, so you just lock it down? Pretty much allow no give I’m guessing?


Bingo.

I use a Duckett Micro Magic 7'6" heavy with a Lew's Super Duty in 7.5:1. I lock the drag down. It has served me well. I concerned about the braid cutting into the guides, but the Micro Magic supposedly has some "braid proof" inserts. So far so good. Been using it for a couple of years now with no issues. I use 65# Power Pro.

Have never heard any complaints about ducketts next level rods when it comes to braid, issue seems to be exclusive to the “insert-free” stainless guides they used on the ghost. Stainless is a pretty soft material compared to prettymuch any ceramic, not sure why they thought that would fly when braid is so popular these days.
