What species are you targeting?

I don't have any particular ones in mind i plan on just catching what i can.

That rod is used for big game fishing. Shark, tuna and the like. Is that what you plan on doing?

So it sounds like you made the purchase based on price rather than species sought.
Figure out what you're targeting and I'm sure the knowledgeable people here will suggest an appropriate reel.

Caveat Emptor!

A rod that big should have at least a Penn 6/0. Buy all your reels used on Ebay, you'll save a bundle. I purchased a Fiblink 30-50 pound class trolling rod with roller guides and purchased a used 4/0 Penn Senator ( almost like new) and the rod and reel Combo cost me about $80 total. A Fiblink 30-50 class rod and a 4/0 Senator is all you really need out there for most everything that swims out there. Anything larger and you lose action. I currently see a Fiblink 30-50 class rod on Amazon like new for $46.
