    Zillion G in the 6.3:1 ratio. If you want the slower 5.5:1 "P" model, you need to get that one from Japan.

    Do you have a price range? If you want real high end, reels like the Conquest 100 5.6:1 or Conquest 200 4.8:1...or mid tier JDM Zillion 5.5:1. Tatula 103 comes in 6.3:1 as does the 2024 Tatula 150 SV TW, Curado 150 MGL has a 6.2:1 (although I wouldn't personally choose micro module 6-8 gear for high resistant baits like chatters)...there's a lot of options, and preference for brand, ergos, and pricing should also be a consideration.
