That is a highly personal item and depends on the way you fish and your budget. That said, I would choose a contemporary reel specifically made for braid, forget mono, that rod can not cast mono very well.

I would go to the RI tackle show and check out the rod, it will be there as well as all the reels worthy of being mounted on it. I bet the manufacture would have a couple of suggestions.

OH, A good friend asked me what I thought about that rod a few months ago...FWIW, he decided to have made a custom rod, made from a Lamiglass Super Surf blank . I am not sure what reel he is going with though.

Good luck
