f you haven't made the purchase on the reel yet, look at a 20.
I put a Daiwa SS700 that I already had on mine, and it really weighed it down and didn't balance well. I had a 20 on my Trout Slayer Series rod, so pulled it off and it balanced well on the Trapara. I ordered the XT 20 model to save a little more weight and it is a super combo.
Spooled it with 2 lb Hybrid Floro.
You will enjoy the rod
