what size spinning reel for steelhead?

for noodle rods or light spinning rods, what size reels do you use?  sizes used to be listed as 20 or 30 but it now may be 25 or 35.  looking for a new reel to match up with a new rod and may increase in size from the old 20s.....thanks

    I used a 4000 size shimano but i only used it as it balanced out better. I also have a 2 1/2 ounce bottom bouncer lead epoxied into the butt end of the rod. If you all ready have the rod take it along and find the one that balances best with your rod.
