Just purchased this rod for my every day spey rod looking for a reel. Looking at the mackenzie extreme or the mackenzie extreme perfect would like to through mid belly lines and soon long belly lines and other reel sugestions would be great as well thanks to all:beer2:

I put a Mackenzie Superlite (M6SL) on that rod for a customer and it was a good match. I believe the line was a Delta Long 7/8 and enough 30# backing for the Clearwater here in Idaho.
There are a great many reels that will do what you want. Some I'm familar with are the Salmon #2, Lamson Radius 4 or Velocity 4, Tioga 12 standard arbor.
