I am trying to find a great reel to match to it and wondered if anyone would make a recommendation. I need at least 100 yard dacron backing and would like a light reel around 4 ounces. Ross and Konic are the 2 lightest I find at 3.9..... any other recommendations are appreciated.

This summer I fished dry fly with the Helios 904-4 of a friend of mine, and it was incredible. I now want one as well, but we noticed that the weight of the reel was extremely important. With a Waterworks ULA purist it was a match made in heaven but with a ULA Force (still a very light reel) the rod performed more ordinary. So I will strongly recommend to go for an extremely light reel as the ULA Purist, which is a nice reel with a nice design ( I like that you can recognize a reel 10 feet away, that is hard witrh most now adays
