What Rod for my Okuma Fly Reel

[walleyes4*u]

I just purchased a Okuma SLV 2/3 fly reel. Never used fly reel before. My question is. "What rod would you match this reel up with?"  Mostly fish out of my Voyager TCX, so length needs to work in the flipover..

I have 3 slv 2/3' and all of em are on thornebros rods.  I don't know if ur looking to spend that much on a rod but they are amazing.  With a fly reel I prefer a short handle so 2 of mine are 4"handle and the other on a 5.  Thornebros does offer a longer handle that is turned down at the butt end just for fly reel applications.  I use shorter rods since the majority of the time I'm inside my fishtap pro.  My longest is a new quiver stick at 24",  24" power noodle and a 16" sweet pea for sight fishing.  If you opt out a TB rod I would look for a short handled rod.  If you visit the thornebros forum and look around there are lots of pics of different handles and positions people have mounted a fly reel to.

thornbros quiver stick is what I pair my okuma reel with. Pricey yes, but it is a great rod
