I am certainly not the guy to give you advice on a specific vintage reel since I don't own any and know very little. However, I have a few cane rods now and one thing I learned is that they need a little heavier reel than you might think to get a good balance. I suggest waiting until you have the rod in hand and then visit a local shop to try on a few different weight reels and see what feels good. Then you can narrow your search.
