St. Croix Imperial

[frohbego]

I'm looking to pick up a St. Croix Imperial rod.

Imperial 865.5
Line 5
Length 8'6'
4 piece
2.8 OZ

I wanted to find out which model Ross Flystart Large Arbor Fly Reel would work best with the St. Croix Imperial.

Any other reels in a similar price range i should check out? If so please send over a link and the model info.

Thanks so much!!

I have a couple of imperials - older models. I like the orvis battenkill with these rods. I also like overlining them. Best rod out there buck for buck IMOP.
