Rod/Reel Combo

I just purchased a shimano scimtar 8'6" fast action rod for tossing lures in the surf. What reel would you recommend I match it with? I'm not too concerned with price.

RE: Rod/Reel Combo

Need a little more info. Spinning, casting, what line, and so on.

I would reccomend a Diawa Coastal. 20# braid backing and a 75yd topshot.
With that reel you can cast a million times without fatigue. The drags are as smooth as butter. I have crash tested mine by slipping and slamming it right into the sand. a water rinse and kept on fishing.

Later
