500 size reels do balance this short rods, but picking up slack line in moving water takes a lot of cranking . For still water fishing it's fine.
UL gear is not meant just for 6" fish and smaller, that Is a myth. It's about ability to present tiny baits to vary fish of any size. I don't target big fish with UL rigs, but I see no problem fighting anything in ab up to 10lb.
