I have a few of the regals and like em a lot. I think the 1000 size is sweet but may be a bit big for a 5’ rod. There’s lots of good ones available but my advice would be to take a rod with you and feel the balance before you buy. I’ve liked the components I’ve bought but was disappointed when I put em together. I’ve also found a couple of sweet ones that were a surprise to me, didn’t think it would work as well as it did. Good luck in your search.
