The Shimano 4500 is a decent reel for the price and should be a good match for the 9 footer. I have one that I used to keep on an 8' rod, but it needs servicing and I haven't had time to get it in to the shop. Never any big problems with it. I've got an Okuma Coronado Bait Feeder and have had good luck with it. I bought it because I had a 9' Lamiglas 2 piece rod that didn't have a reel. I figured it would be a spare setup to keep in the car, but I've been using it as my primary setup this year. I haven't used the bait feeder feature, but the drag is smooth and it casts well. I rinse it very well after every use and put it back in the car. I've taken some pretty good fish on it and it has handled them all without any problem. I can't remember what I paid, but I know that I was suprised at how good it was for the price. It was probably around $60 give or take.
