You are lucky to be so close to those lakes. Great bass fishing.
For the rods, I'd go 1 piece, medium action, 6'6 - 7'0 in length.
Lures...I've done very well at those lakes with white or chartreuse spinner baits. I was last there in November and probably caught 20 on a Booyah Super Shad in Chartreuse Glimmer color in about 2 hours.
I also like to use crank baits...the Lucky Craft live pointer in American shad and ghost shad have treated me very well, as have Bomber fat free shad lures in Tennessee shad color.
Plastics always work there...4" - 5" Senko's, Swim Senko's, Maniac Lures, Hula Grubs, etc. I usually fish them weightless or on a Texas rig, and drop-shotting with the hula grub can be excellent.
Good luck. I'm thinking of hitting Sand Hollow this weekend just to see some unfrozen water.
