I have several of those rods with conventional guides, and it's a meatstick. I've never owned those reels, but you'll need something pretty beefy to balance the rod. You may even want to put some lead in the butt section. Off the cuff, I'd say a reel of about 25 oz. I have a Penn 6500 SS that would be a little small on that rod.
That will be a great rod for large eels, bucktailing, large plugs, etc.
