Location: The desert | I dont know if you have a Gander Mountain out there by you but the Gander Guide series rods are very good and are a good price. I've heard good things on some of the shimano rods, but I have never personally used one. As for reels, dont skimp. I use Abu's. They are a good price and I havent had much of a problem with them. Another option that I would highly recommend would be Okuma's gear. The induron is a great real and the telescoping rods they have are also very nice with a price that wont break the bank.
Hope this helps.
