Lamiglas XS 91 MHS ROD

hello guys, need a little help on a reel selection for this rod i just picked up. it's a Lamiglas xs 91 mhs spinning rod
14-20 lb. test and 1-3 oz. lures... any suggestions? i have a penn 5500ss, a shimano spheros 8000, a penn 704 greenie, and a penn 706z... wondering what reel will work best. and will it be worth taking to cuttyhunk? or is it too light duty?

I'd go with the 704 and 20# fireline; slap em on and see which one feels the best.

I wouldn't bring any gear at all......they'll be more gear out there than your average tackle store

GO LARGE RB37!!! (but stay away from the cabinet making giant, he's trouble)

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
