I am looking into getting the hto rockfish UL and I was wondering what reel people found fits the rod best. Im hoping to have the rod nice and balanced for casting tiny lures. Help is appreciated!!

Re: Reel advice????
Ive got the catana 2500 on mine. I find it a tiny bit too big. Any shimano 1000 would be perfect.
I opted for the 2500 as it was only a small bit bigger and ive got heavier braid on the 2nd spool so it doubles up as a spare for my wrassing.

shimano catana 1000 would be perfect. I've had one for 3 years and still going strong.
You'll get two spools. I'd advise to load one with light braid (6lbs) and the other with 4lb fluoro straight-through.
