Line capacity & rod for inline planer boards

[Excavtr]

I am looking to buy a couple reels to load with mono (probably 12#) for use with inline planer boards. I know everyone have their favorite reels. I am considering Okuma Convectors because I've had good luck with Okuma in the past. I troll the finger lakes, but want capacity for Ontario.

How much capacity should I look for in a reel for this use?

Also wanted to mount them on a 2 piece Medium action 8' big water Shakespeare Ugly Stick BWS110080. Will that rod have enough backbone to pull the inlines?

I use the BW1101 8' lights. They pull them great. Also have a couple 9' med for the 300 copper. Works excellent. I use church t-22
