Hi Tim. Looks a nice rod.
I'm no expert, but would advise a Shimano F/S reel, model dependant on budget. Probably about a 3000 size would be appropiate.
Unless you have experience with Multiplier reels, I would avoid a baitcasting reel, as they can suffer from overspooling & bird's nests similar to a Multiplier in inexperienced hands.
Braid around 10 - 20Lbs would be fine. Hope this helps.
