For those of you that fish rattlebaits, what is your favorite reel for this tactic? What type of rod do you prefer?

Okuma 8'6" Heavy, with either a curado 300E, curado EJ, Revo Toro HS or regulary Revo Toro. I just wanted to add that I don't fish small rattlebaits which is why I go with a Heavy rod instead of something lighter.
