My short list of lightweight spinning reels are
- Daiwa BG if you're on a budget or Ballistic if you have some extra money
- Shimano Stradic CI4 Plus
For Rods
- Go see Kevin Bogan once you have your reel and let him set you up with a custom rod that balances well with your reel..
- Off the shelf go one of our sponsors and look at Black Hole Challenger 701L or 731 medium (I think the medium will cover more of your basis)
