		I prefer an IM7, IM8, or IM6 graphite in medium or mdium light.  I also have light and ultra light models as well.  My last purchases have been from Cabelas and I like how they handle.  Some of these rods come in combos already.  If buying the reel separate I like the following reels.  Quantum and the Abu Garcia Cardinal series.  For line I use Trilene XL 4-6 lb on my ultralights, 8 lb on my other rods.
