Phil,

With such a small, light rod, you will need a very small light reel to balance it. I own two of the J.Austin Forbes Magnesium reels and they are really sweet. They weigh only 2.2oz but will hold quite a bit of backing and a 2 or 3 wt line. They are on sale at overstock.com for $75 marked down from the normal retail of $150. Excellent reels and super light that would be a perfect match for your rod.
