Recommended fishing reel

So i have a 10' shakespeare ugly stik fishing rod, and i am having trouble finding a nice fitting reel. i have a Shakespeare Prius20X Spinning Reel and i feel as if its a little bit too big. so im using a smaller one, but it feels a little weird. Could i have advice please, thank you

I think I put a Penn 8500ss on it years ago. I didn't like the rubbery quality of the 10' Ugly Stick. The after cast movement was killin my wrists and arms. It's really important to have a balanced rig for hours of casting pleasure. Go to one of the fishing stores like Brian's or Charly's for some expert guidance.
