Kistler Helium LTA Heavy Fast 7'6" and Muskie ??

[MOMuskieHunter]

I was wondering if a Kistler Helium LTA Heavy Fast 7'6" would hold up on muskie? Also I'm considering putting a ABU Garcia Record #50 on this rod. Input needed. Thanks in advance

I would step up to the XH in the 7'6" one piece LTA line for those mean muskie if you plan to hook and turn a BIG one on 50 lb line.
I've heard great things about the Revos but I might stick with a Shimano Calcutta for this application.
