I found a pretty good deal on some mooching rods. Thinking they could be used for float fishing (skein, spawn, beads etc). What kind of reel would I use though? Is this viable?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I ordered two of them. They are fenwick hmx's 10'6" rated 10-20lb with a moderate fast action. Paid $40 a piece new, will be perfect for floating skein. I plan on replacing the bottom three eyelets to improve casting capabilities with a spinning reel.
