Hello everyone, looking for reel suggestions for the 7 ft 6 in medium zodias spinning rod. Tried searching through many different threads but didnt find much for this model. As its a bit longer than my other two 7 ft rods I want some ideas. Curious if others use this rod and already have a reel that worjs well on it. Worried about reel weight and balance probably more than I should be.
 

Not sure if a 2500 or 3000 size would be better. Been looking at Shimano and Daiwa reels both US versions and straight from Japan but open to ideas. Still looks like I can get some good reels for cheaper from Japan. I assume I will get a few voted for a vanford but want to take a look at all of my options. 
 

Appreciate any feedback you can offer!

Shimano made them both red and black for a reason!

They’rea little heavier than most but I love my Daiwa BG’s.

I’ve got to agree with badfish79 as I can’t mismatch colors on my rods/reels ??

Vanford 3000 is the only logical choice.
