Depends on your price point. I started out with a Cabela's CZN 10' 4 weight with the Cabela's rls+ reel. Served me well for a couple years then upgraded last year to an Orvis Recon 10' 3 weight with the Hyros SL II reel. Night and day difference between the two as the Orvis is much more sensitive which is a combination of the brand and lighter weight. Tons of good options out there in the $300-$400 rod range. You really just need the reel to balance well or be slightly butt heavy. I've been obsessed with the Euro method and it has increased my catch rate ten-fold.
