Drennan Acolyte Specimen Rod

The wife today ordered me a 14ft acolyte specimen ,can anyone suggest an appropriate reel and line ?
I use a Cadence CS10 4000 and have full confidence in the drag system which is the important thing for me because we all know what happens when you show a barbel the net for the first time when you only have one hand on the rod. I really don't understand back winding when modern better quality reels have decent drag system.
I have other Cadence reels and rods all of which have been high quality and reasonably priced.
