Having one custom built, a tad lighter than the floor model. It is a 4 piece, 5 wt z-axis, 9 foot and want to pair it with a great reel.

I was thinking the Ross Evolution in 1.5 or 2

but have more recently considered bauer rogue 2, nautilus 5, and glavan BO.

Any opinions out there, i sure would be glad to hear 'em as I want to fish it as soon as i get it.

You might take a look a galvan torque as well. Very light to compliment your rod. All of the reels you listed are great and you should be happy with whichever one you pick.

Hardy Marksman 4/5. Very lightweight and high tech in looks. It would really compliment Sage's latest flagship.

The Hardy 'Marksman' is very light and cool looking too.
