reel to suit a shimano j type s585

 hey guys, im looking at purchasing a shimano type j s585 suited for up to 240gram jigs. Although i will probably use it for bottom bouncing bait fishing.  can anyone recommend the maximum sized reel to suit this rod something that will handle a sambo if i come across any and the poundage of braid i should be using i was thinking round 30 to 50 pound cheers in advance .

 I would guess shimano 5000 or maybe 6000 but if you are buying locally just test some out in the store and see what feels best.
