Generally when a rod feels unbalanced it means that its tip heavy if you put a 165 grm or a 230 grm reel on it it will still be tip heavy. So I go with the rod choice first and a well balanced and light feeling rod is important when your casting non stop. And the lighter the reel the better.
Have you seen the reel in the flesh?
