    Very nice. What would you recommend reel wise for that rod? Also, what action would you say the rod is.

    I would say its a medium fast action.......  As far as  reels  Since its a small stream rod meant for tiny fish any light weight reel would no drag needed in my opinion....  I had paired it up with a J Austin Forbes Avon but the reel diameter was too small  It was only 2 inches   maybe a Redington Drift would suit it fine..  It only weighs Something like 3.5 ounces if I remember right ...  Or maybe a Forbes Avon 2 1/2 inch it weighs a lot less if I remember it is only like 2 1/2 ounces.......
