Freshwater gear help

I don't see a Freshwater section, though we never had one, but it is bass related so...

Found a 2 piece, 6'6", medium action South Bend XTC200 rod in my closet. Mint condition, Model TC-345
Rated 8-14lb line weight, 3/16 - 5/8 oz lure weight

The reel that came with it is long gone but I figure that this is a largemouth bass type rod, I really don't know much about freshwater except my tiny trout rod.

Anybody know what a decent reel would be for this thing? What line should be put on it? I'd be using this only during July and August when the ocean is too rough for Fluking, freshwater trips have been very rare for me. I have a bunch of largemouth hooks, and some other things that are probably meant for other species but I'm clueless.

Haven't looked through my freshwater box in a very long time...
