I have seen that reel on anything from a 7 foot light rod to a 12 foot rocket launcher type. I have seen it with 12 LB mono to 50 LB braid. You should just get the rod based on what you will be doing. the reel will be fine on any of them.

I like 35 LB Cortland Spectron on my 6500 size ABU reels. It will hold 250 to 300 yards of line.
