I fish with the Tica 8' MH 10-25lb 1-3oz rod and I have it paired with the Shimano Spheros 8000.
Jfisher's suggestion of the 5000 is excellent,but if you want lots of line capacity the 6000 or even the 8000 will do fine.All 3 reels are the same size with the exception of the spool and only 2oz differance in weight between all 3 models.The 8000 actually being the lightest at 19.8oz. because of the deeper cut spool.
Probably the best reel you can buy at its price.I paid $100 for my 8000.
An absolutely sweet light tackle plugging setup.Your son will LOVE it.
