cant find a reel for surface irons - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have the same rod and paired it with a Trini 16n. Casted great but the Trini was way too much for that light rod. After hearing great reviews I'm planning on putting a lexa 400 on it. If you want a round reel the Seagate 35 might be good. Old school, but a Newell 332 or super narrow 322 would be amazing on that rod. Seriously. Plenty of drag for a rod of that line rating, super light, and IMO Newell's are still the best casting reels ever made. Damn, I'm talking myself in to a Newell 322 now. Mike.
