I have a 5/6 and an 8 wt switch. The 5/6 will handle big fish, but I never use it for the shad run. I find that to get deep enough I need to throw at least 10 feet of T-14 and the 5/6 just can't handle it. But as to your original question, any reel will work but as others have said it should be in the 8-9 weight range so you can fit the line. Those skagit heads are super fat.
