I love my Pflueger President and President XT spinning reels.
I would probably look at their size 20 for that UL rod.
Take the rod to a Bass Pro, Cabela's, or Gander Mountain and see how it fits before you buy.

 I also have presidents and president XTs
And have had zero issues , for ice and soft water

That's all I use for everything casting or jigging

I'm another Pflueger lover. I have 22 of them ranging from the Trions to the President series in various sizes. The drags on the reels are amazing. I cannot blame a rough drag for 1 lost fish. You won't be disappointed.

Can’t go wrong with phlueger presidents, they are reasonably priced and are bullet proof.

my all time favorite is the old diawa whisker series ss tournament reels. maybe heavier than other reels, i little out of balance winding it, great drag, still have and use one thats 35/40 years both fresh and salt. indestructible. if they dont make them anymore i would just ebay one. they were just built to catch fish

That rod I would match up with a Daiwa Revros (~$50-60) or a Daiwa Fuego (~$100-110) depending how much money you want to put into it.  Usually you can find these on sale.

You're right on size....1500 or 2000.  Good luck.

Daiwa tatula and never look back.

[Steve H.]

I have a Tatula ML setup (rod and reel) for my finesse and some dropshot fishing but personally I wouldn't put a Tatula reel on a $35 Spinmatic rod.  That's why I mentioned the cheaper options which I also use and have had no problems.  But yes, the Tatula is way better for sure.

good reels last along time, rods not so much. when the time comes i would rather upgrade the rod.......
