I like Galvan Rush LT's

They are Tanks.

which color Kenny did you buy?

I have a nice Marryat 7.5 I would sell (dark copper) if you bought the brown blank

I don’t have a spare but they can be had

I like those for sure, but they appear to be out of production.

I was looking at the lunar 2 hub-less reel from swift river. It looks like the price has come down, but the weight is up there at 5.8 oz! they do claim that it is a fit for their 580 rod, which I would think is close to the kenny 8055 rod. What do you guys think of that reel?

I sort of landed on the hub-less reel cause the uplocking reel seat hardware Larry Kenney uses has sort of a steampunk look. I also found those L.H. design reels, really cool looking, but I don't know anything about them

I use an Islander IR3 on the Kenney 8055. I like the skinny foot and IMHO it's the best production click pawl on the market.

Do his rods need a thin reel foot?

I ordered my 8055 with a cap & ring and cork spacer so it definitely works best with a thin foot. My other Kenney's have up locks and wood spacers and work just fine with Abel TRs and Creeks which have a pretty fat foot. I think Larry offers both types of seats with his 5 weight rods.

I have his 3 piece 8' 3" 5 wt. and when I got it I asked him which reel he liked best on it and he said he preferred a Hardy Princess. He thought it balanced well and he liked building up the reel with backing so he could get it to function more like a large arbor reel.
I figured that was good enough for me and I've always fished it that way. I know your rod is slightly shorter but it's something to consider as the five piece 8' 5 wt. is the same weight as mine, I believe.

If you base your reel choice on the line type and backing capacity you will be using most often, the fishing you will doing (as to, for instance, your preferred type of drag,) and an approximate weight range, it will look fine on the rod. One of the click-pawls mentioned, or similar, would be a no-brainer to me and many others for typical 4/5 'glass uses, but yours may be different. And, gosh, if still communicating with LK about your purchase, ask his recommendation.

I have an LK 8255. I've been using it with a Princess, but feel like a bit heavier reel would balance better. That Ross Gunnison may be just the ticket for your 8055. My solution was to put some golfer's lead tape inside on the backplate of the Princess, which has work out well and might be a good option if you like one of the lighter reels.

Yup, they are absolute tanks
