Best reel to match Century Slingshot

Last year on MV I was in a bluefish blitz and a crew that I have stood amongst and always able to cast with were out casting me by 30 feet and reaching fish I could not. It got to point I had to stop and evaluate WTF was going on. I even talked to a few of them. It really was a humbling moment.

Bottom line my trusty ARRA 11 just won't throw as far as this new generation of tech filled launchers. I borrowed a Shimano and didn't like it. I threw the Century Slingshot and like magic the old man was able to cast with the boys again.

Last week on tax free Saturday I ordered a 10'6" Century Slingshot and now I need to match a reel. Not putting a stella on it (overkill) and dont see the point of a VS on this one. I ahve a Saragossa 8000 Im gonna try but figured I would ask if anyone is throwing a slingshot and what reel they like on it.
