for a rod i'd say look at the light- medlight st croix or fenwicks maybe like 7-7.5' if you want further casting. just go hold them, put the combos together and see what feels good. I really like a lot of the shimano rods too, even the lower priced ones like the clarus.
I have a clarus myself, pair it with the bg for general fishing. Great feel, and The colors match
