Just bought a set of these in 2.5lb tc lovely rod for the money for margin work and stalking.

What would be a nice reel to balance them with? Looking at small baitrunners but wouldn't mind a front drag either

I use 5000 GTE-C Shimano Baitrunners on my 8ft rods and they are perfect for me

I looked at them mate so definitely an option, I been looking at okuma as I've had them in the past and they been bomb proof. Just looking to see what size would be suitable
